Chapter Two: Still Waters, Beneath the Surface
You were back downstairs about an hour later, after settling into your childhood bedroom and unpacking your overstuffed luggageâclothes, makeup, shoes, all the remnants of your old life shoved into a few heavy bags.
You feltâŠnervous.
It didnât make sense, not really. These were your grandparents. People who helped raise you, who used to sneak you cookies before dinner, and let you fall asleep in front of the TV as old westerns played. But everything felt different now. Like the ranch and people had stayed the same, but you hadnât. Even if they acted like youâd never left at all.
You took a seat at the small kitchen table, its wood a little more worn than you remembered. The lights above glowed soft and yellow, casting warmth over the room. The windows were propped open with little wooden wedges, letting in a light breeze and the faint, steady hum of cicadas from the fields outside.
Your grandma moved around the stove with practiced ease, transferring food into serving bowls and laying down pots onto what looked like handmade, crocheted hot pads. The air smelled like fried chicken and buttered corn and something sweet baking in the oven.
AndâsurprisinglyâGojo was still there.
He was setting the table like he belonged there, like he lived there. No cowboy hat tonight, just a mess of snowy white hair catching the kitchen light in soft, wild angles.
Your eyes met.
The corners of his mouth tugged up into a half-smileâbarely there, just a flickerâand then he looked back down, focused on the napkins and silverware in his hands like they were suddenly the most important thing in the world.
You were quick to sit down, across the table from him, flanked by your grandparents. You avoided his piercing gaze like it carried the plague, focusing instead on scooping mashed potatoes onto your plate. Why was he so damn nosy?
Grandma finally set down the bowl of green beans and lowered herself into the seat across from Grandpa. âThere we go. Yâall dig in before it gets cold.â
Grandpa passed the plate of fried chicken to Gojo on his left, glancing at you as he spoke. âBet the city doesnât cook like this, huh?â
You forced a smile. âNo, not really. Not unless you count overpriced takeout. But the chef Mom hired is pretty good.â
Satoru snickered under his breathâsubtle, but you caught it. A jab, like always.
Grandma interrupted before you could react, scooping a healthy serving of food onto her plate. âThat chef making enough food? You look awfully skinny, honey. Weâll have you fattened up in no time.â
Gojo grinned with that same smug expression you remembered, stuffing a heaping forkful of potatoes into his mouth like he hadnât eaten in days. Real charming. âGuess weâre back to raisinâ strays again.â
Your grandpa chuckled and lightly swatted his elbow in a disapproving tone. âSatoru.â
You rolled your eyes, dragging your fork slowly through your food. âFunny.â
âJust sayinâ. First day back and you already looked like you were gonna melt in the sun.â
âIt was ninety-five degrees.â You deadpanned.
âAnd yet, I didnât hear the horses complaininâ.â
Your grandma cut in gently, clearly trying her best to ease the growing tension between the two of you, âSheâll adjust. Takes time, is all.â
You knew what was coming next. Of course, theyâd be curious. Who wouldnât be? Stuck up girl with a trust fund and everything handed to her on a silver platter suddenly finds her way back to the middle of bum-fuck nowhere. Grandpa leaned in a little, lowering his voice like it was some big family secret. âSo⊠what really happened? Your mama didnât say much over the phone. Just that youâd be stayinâ with us a while.â
You stared down at your plate, feeling that familiar sense of shame that plagued your thoughts on the daily. âI⊠I messed up. Got kicked out of school⊠Mom didnât want me home. Well, David didnât want me home.â
There was a beat of silence. The only sound was the quiet scrape of Gojoâs fork before he had to chime in again.
âDamn. Didnât peg you as the rebellious type. Whatâd you do, set the library on fire?â
You shot him a look, sharp enough to cut glass. âNo. I wasnât flunking either, if thatâs what you're implying.â
âNow, we donât have to get into all that tonight,â your grandma cut in quickly, voice thin and tight.
âNo shame in fallinâ down, sugar,â Grandpa said gently, resting a hand over your forearm. âJust matters what you do after.â
And Gojo? Itâs like he didnât know how to shut up. He propped his chin in his palm, grinning that same idiotic grin. âSo whatâs the plan now? Stick around, milk cows till your city instincts come back?â
âThere arenât even cows here.â
âYet.â He shrugged, still smiling.
You could feel the heat rising to your face, your voice climbing with it. âCan you just not tonight? I already feel like a failure. I donât need you making it worse.â
The table fell silent. Again.
Even your grandma didnât know what to say.
Gojo blinked, caught off guard. âHey. I was just messinâ. Didnât mean it like that.â
Maybe it was dramatic. You didnât care. You shoved your chair back with a loud scrape, standing in a rush.
âWhatever. Iâm not hungry.â
âYou donât gotta run, sweetheart,â Grandpa said gently, his voice steady but soft. âYou can sit. Be mad if you want. But stay.â
But you were already scraping your food into the trash and setting your plate down into the empty sink. âI just need some air.â
The screen door creaked as you swung it open and stepped out into the humid dusk, letting it thump closed behind you.
Inside, the kitchen was quiet. The clink of silverware had stopped. The cicadas outside suddenly seemed louder than they had before.
Gojo let out a sigh, pushing his plate away.
Grandpa shot him a look. âDidnât mean nothinâ by it, huh?â
Gojo winced. âNo, sir. Just got a mouth on meâŠâ
The porch creaked under your weight as you sank onto the top step.
It was quiet out hereâthe kind of quiet that wraps around you, thick and soft, until all you can hear is your own thoughts echoing louder than they should. The cicadas buzzed somewhere far off, a low hum under the night. You pulled your knees up to your chest, hugging them loosely, chin resting on the denim of your dirt-smudged jeans.
Out past the porch railing, the fields stretched wide and dark, the grass swaying in the warm breeze like it didnât know the world had changed. The moon hung low, casting a silvery sheen over the barn roof, the tops of the trees, the wooden fence that hadnât changed since you were ten. Fireflies blinked at the edge of the pastureâlazy little lights, flickering like stars too tired to shine properly.
A horse whinnied in the distance, followed by the soft rustle of hooves against hay and dirt. The sound was comforting and lonely at the same time.
You hated how fast your heart was still beating.
You shouldnât have snapped like that. Not in front of your grandparents. Not in front of him. But something about the way he said itâlike you didnât belong here eitherâjust hit the wrong nerve. Again.
Everything youâve done lately feels like a mistake. Getting kicked out. Getting cut off. Ending up back here like some dead-end case with nothing to show for yourself but half a degree and a suitcase full of regrets.
You thought this would feel like coming home.
Instead, it feels like walking into a version of your life that just kept going without you.
You bit the inside of your cheek, hard. Metallic warmth bloomed across your tongue. You welcomed the stingâit was the only thing that felt real.
What would your friends back in the city say if they saw you now? Theyâd probably laugh. Or worse, pity you. You could already hear the way theyâd say your name like it was some sort of tragedy. But you couldnât even blame them.
And you couldnât really blame your parents, either.
You were the problem. You were always the problem.
Just a lazy, spoiled, good-for-nothing excuse of a daughter.
Your fingers fidgeted with a loose thread on your jeans, nails bitten short and raw at the edges. You pressed your face into your folded arms, hiding from the moonlight, hiding from yourself. The burn behind your eyes stung deep, but you blinked it away, stubborn and silent.
You donât get to cry over this anymore.
You made your bed. Now you had to lie in itâeven if it was 500 miles from the life you were supposed to be livingâŠ
The screen door creaked open behind you, hinges groaning like theyâd been holding their breath all day. You didnât turn around. Just tucked your chin deeper into the cradle of your knees and stared out at the moonlit fields, trying not to think too hard. The air was thick with the scent of cut grass and the faint sweetness of honeysuckle creeping up the side of the porch. Somewhere out near the fence line, a horse snorted softly, the rustle of hay echoing under the low hum of cicadas.
Bootsteps followedâslow, steady, like whoever it was didnât want to scare you off. The boards creaked under his weight. He stopped just behind you, where the porch met the steps, hovering like he wasnât sure if he was welcome.
You didnât need to look to know who it was.
âIâm headinâ out,â Gojo said after a beat, voice softer than usual.
You nodded, still not turning to look at him. ââKay...â
There was a pause, but he didnât move.
âDidnât mean to get under your skin. Not like that, anyway...â
You let out a breath through your nose, the sound sharp in the quiet of the night. âYou have a funny way of showing it.â
He chuckledâbarely. âYeah. Sâpose I do.â
Another beat of silence passed between you, the air palpable with lingering tension from dinner. You could hear him shift, boots scraping against the wood as he sat down behind you on the next step, not quite beside you, but close enough that you could feel the warmth radiating off of him.
âI wasnât lying, yâknow,â he murmured. âYouâre not a failure.â
Your eyes stayed on the fields. The wind stirred the grass, rippling like water under moonlight. Yeah, rightâŠâDoesnât really matter what I am. Iâm here, arenât I?â
âYou say that like itâs some kinda punishment.â
You stayed quiet, picking at the hem of your jeans until a thread snapped loose between your fingers. A cicada buzzed in the distance, shrill and stubborn. âWhy are you even out here?âÂ
He shrugged, gaze following yours into the dark. âSupposed to be leavinâ. Figured Iâd say goodnight.â A pause. Then, lighter, âMaybe make sure you didnât go throw yourself in the horse trough.â
That earned a tiny smirk, even if you didnât mean to give it to him.
He leaned forward, forearms pressed against his knees. âWe all mess up. Hell, Iâve done worse than get kicked outta school.â
You tilted your head. âLike what?â
âNot savinâ the last cinnamon roll for your grandpa at breakfast one time,â he replied solemnly. âStill havenât been forgiven for that. That man sure knows how to hold a grudge, Iâll tell you that much.â
You huffed, but just barely. Was he really trying to make you feel better right now?
Gojoâs smile faded into something gentler. âLookâŠI know it donât fix anything. And I ainât tryinâ to tell you how to feel. But this place? Itâs not gonna shut you out just âcause youâre hurting. Neither will your folks. AndâŠneither will I.â
The knot in your throat pulled tight. You bit the inside of your cheek, swallowed down the sting behind your eyes. âI just feel like Iâm screwing everything up...â
âYouâre twenty,â he said. âYouâre supposed to screw everything up.â
You finally turned to look at him. His silver hair caught the moonlight, a soft mess of curls above a face that, for once, wasnât smug or teasingâjust honest. He met your eyes, his voice even quieter now. âAinât no shame in falling, princess. Just matters what you do after.â
You stared at him for a moment, then looked away, brushing at your eyes with the heel of your hand before he could catch the glint there. How would he know? He didnât screw up his entire life and every opportunity ever handed to him.
He stood a second later, brushing dust from his jeans.
âIâll be back in the morning. We start early around here,â he said, already turning toward the steps. âDonât go disappearing again, alright?â He dusted off the brim of his hat this time, tilting it towards you with that irritating, gentle expression, before finally turning to leave down the steps. You watched as he mounted his horse near the barn just yards away, graceful yet strong. Sturdy. And with a click of his heels, he rode off into the night.
A breeze swept through the porch, carrying the scent of dust and horse sweat. You closed your eyes and let it pass over you. And just like that, it was quiet again. But the silence didnât feel so heavy this time.
You werenât sure what woke you firstâthe roosterâs screech or the sheer betrayal of being conscious before the sun. Either way, it felt violent. You blinked up at the ceiling in stunned silence, a death glare already forming as that damn bird let out another war cry just beyond your window.
You didnât even need to look to know where it was perched. Probably right there on the porch rail, puffed up like it owned the place, screaming just because it could. Roosters were honestly worse than car alarms.
If you went outside right now and smothered that fucking bird with your pillow, would anyone actually care?
Probably not. Maybe worth the risk.
You groaned and rolled onto your side, dragging the thin country quilt over your head. It was no silk duvet, that was for sure. The sheets felt stiff, the pillow was aggressively firm, and there was no hum of traffic or buzz of your phone to lull you back to sleep. Just the clatter of hooves in the distance, the soft creak of the house waking up, and that damn rooster again, yelling like its life depended on it.
This was not how mornings were supposed to start.
This was a violation of basic human rights.
Back home, you didnât wake up until at least noonâwrapped in a fortress of fluffy blankets, cushioned by high-thread-count luxury, maybe scrolling through social media until your iced latte was delivered straight to your door. That was your kind of peace. That was comfort. That was normal.
This⊠wasnât. This was farmhand purgatory.
Eventually, you accepted your fate and swung your legs out of bed, padding across the old wooden floor in your socks. The air was cool, crisp in a way that made your skin tighten, like the house still held onto the chill of the night. You tugged on a hoodieâyour old college one, soft from a hundred washes and printed with a logo that felt a little heavier nowâand made your way downstairs.
Voices floated up from the kitchen, low and warm. The smell hit you nextâbacon, eggs, maybe biscuits in the oven. Something buttery and comforting. The kettle was starting to whistle on the stove, and you could hear grandma humming under her breath between gentle clinks of dishware, grandpa probably sitting at the table, flicking through the pages of this morningâs newspaper. Who the hell still reads the paper?
You padded into the kitchen, the warm scent of breakfast wrapping around you like a blanket. Sunlight was just beginning to spill through the windows, catching in little dust motes that danced above the table. Your grandma stood at the stove in her worn, quilted apron, gently flipping bacon in a skillet while humming something soft and familiar. Your grandpa sat at the table with his reading glasses low on his nose, newspaper rustling in his hands, a steaming mug of coffee close by.
âThere she is,â Grandma said, not even turning as you entered. âThought weâd have to send the rooster in to drag you out.â
You made a face, slumping into one of the old wooden chairs. âYou mean that demon outside my window?â
Grandpa chuckled behind the paper. âThat demon birdâs been waking us up for fifteen years.â
âMaybe itâs time for early retirement,â you muttered, rubbing your eyes.
Grandma just smiled and slid a plate in front of you, stacked with eggs, bacon, and a biscuit that was still warm to the touch. âEat up. Youâve got a full day ahead of you.â
You blinked. âWaitâI do?â
Grandpa folded the paper and leaned back in his chair, giving you a look that was equal parts amused and serious. âYou didnât think youâd come back and just lounge around, did you?â
You opened your mouth to argue, then shut it again. Fair enough.
âFigured weâd start you off easy,â he continued, âmaybe get you out by the barn. See if the coop needs cleaning, or lend a hand brushing the horses.â
You were halfway through chewing a bite of biscuit when you glanced out the windowâand paused.
Out by the fence, backlit by the morning sun, was Gojo. He was already elbow-deep in work, hauling bales of hay like they weighed nothing, his shirt slightly damp with sweat despite the early hour. His hair was a little wild, catching the light like silver threads. He moved with a kind of ease, like all of thisâthe labor, the landâfit him in a way that made your stomach twist with something unfamiliar. For someone so irritating, he looked way too good covered in grime and sweat. That dickâŠ
You looked away before either of your grandparents noticed you staring, but they had already clocked you on it. Luckily, they didnât care to say anything about it.
âHeâs been out there since before dawn,â Grandma said, following your gaze. âThat boy works harder than anyone gives him credit for. Good thing we hired him.â
âLooks like he could use some breakfast,â Grandpa added, scratching his beard. âWhy donât you go fetch him in before we eat?â
You hesitated. âMe?â
âHe wonât bite,â Grandma said with a knowing look. âGo on, take him a biscuit. Tell him thereâs coffee, too.â
You groaned quietly but stood, snatching a warm biscuit from the stack and avoiding your grandmaâs smug grin. She always did like playing matchmaker, even when you were little.
The screen door squeaked open behind you as you stepped out onto the porch. The air was brighter now, touched with the promise of heat later in the day. You crossed the yard slowly, heart doing something weird and uncalled-for when Gojo finally noticed you.
He straightened up, brushing his hands on his jeans. âMorninâ, princess.â
You rolled your eyes, holding out the biscuit. âBreakfast is ready. Thought Iâd offer before you pass out from being too heroic.â
He grinned, all dimples and mischief, but there was something gentler behind it today. âLook at you, bringing me food. Thought you city girls didnât do manual labor or acts of kindness.â
You made a face and turned to leave, but he fell into step beside you anyway.
âIâll come eat,â he said, almost lightly. âOnly âcause your grandmaâs cooking is worth it.â
You didn't say anything, but you let him follow you back to the porch.
The screen door slammed shut behind the two of you, the familiar creak followed by the soft thud of boots on wood. Gojo wiped his hands on the hem of his shirt, still dusty from the barn, before dropping into the seat across from you with a lazy grin and a âMorninâ, folks.â
Grandma turned from the stove with a smile and a playful swat of her dish towel. âBout time. Youâre up with the sun but never remember to eat.â
âYou always feed me too well,â Gojo said, already reaching for the plate she set down in front of him. âWouldnât get anything done if I started the day all bloated on your cookinâ.â
Grandpa gave a huff of amusement. âPretty sure youâre running on coffee and charm anyway.â
Gojo winked. âDonât forget sheer willpower.â
You rolled your eyes and picked at your eggs.
It was warm in the kitchenâbetween the smell of food, the soft murmur of conversation, and the sound of silverware clinking against plates, it almost felt like a memory youâd forgotten you missed. Familiar and slow and good.
Grandma took her seat last, sliding into the spot beside Grandpa. âSo,â she said, âwe were just talkinâ about the day. Thought maybe youâd like to take our girl here out to the barn, Satoru. Show her the ropes again.â
You looked up sharply. âWait, what?â
He didnât even hesitate as he replied, âSure. Long as she doesnât faint from the smell of manure.â
You narrowed your eyes. âI grew up here too, yâknow.â
âYou mean when you were ten and used to wear light-up sneakers and run away from the chickens.â
âI was a child.â
âYou screamed.â
âOnce.â
âHmmm, always.â He looked at you, eyes already glinting with mischief.
You kicked him under the table. He didnât even flinch.
Grandma smothered a laugh and stood up to refill her tea. âHeâll take you out after breakfast. Just a few chores, nothing heavy. Help you get your feet under you again.â
You didnât say anything right away, just stared down at the last bite of biscuit on your plate. You didnât want to admit it, but maybe a part of you wanted itâsomething to do. Something to fix. Something real for once in your life.
You finally nodded. âAlright, fine. Show me the ropes.â
Gojo leaned back in his chair like heâd just won a prize. âYouâre gonna love shovelinâ horse crap.â
By the time the plates were cleared and the sun was high enough to really start working the yard, you were already regretting every mistake you had made.Â
Gojo led the way toward the barn with that lazy cowboy swagger that somehow managed to be both irritating and hypnotic, his ass shifting in those tight jeansâŠYou were no better than a man. But couldnât a girl have hobbies? You trudged behind him, the soles of your sneakers slipping slightly in the dewy grass, hoodie sleeves shoved up past your elbows, trying not to look like you were struggling to keep up. You were not dressed for the occasion, but you also refused to purchase a pair of cowboy boots. You werenât a hick quite yet.
âYou always walk this slow,â you grumbled, âor are you trying to make this take longer?â
He looked over his shoulder with a smirk. âGotta make sure you donât wander off and get lost, princess.â
âMay I remind you once again that I grew up here, too?â
âWell, you sure donât look the part.â
The barn door creaked open, and suddenly you were in itâthrown headfirst into a full-on crash course of ranch life, courtesy of one smug Satoru Gojo.
First up: the chicken coop.
âYou want me to go in there?â you asked, eyeing the flapping birds with much hesitation. The coop smelled like warm hay and bird shit and regret.
âDonât worry,â he purred, handing you a shovel with way too much glee. âThey only peck when you cry.â
You squawked louder than the hens when one fluttered too close to your head, ducking to the ground in fear. Gojo laughed so hard he had to lean on the fence to keep from tipping over.
Next was water trough duty.
âTip it out,â he said, gesturing at the massive metal basin. âThen hose it down and refill it. Easy.â
âYou say that like it doesnât weigh a thousand pounds.â
âItâs about leverage,â he shrugged. âAnd core strength. You got either of those?â
Your glare said no, but your pride said Iâll figure it out. So you did. Sort of. You soaked your shoes and half your jeans in the process, and Gojo took a mental photograph of it for future blackmail.
Then came the hay bales.
âLift with your legs, not your back,â he instructed, tossing one over his shoulder like it was a bag of marshmallows.
You grunted and dragged yours two feet before dramatically collapsing on top of it, completely out of breath. You occasionally went to the gym back home, but a machine was way different than barrels of straw that weighed more than you did. âI thinkâŠIâm dyingâŠhow are you not exhausted yet?â
âGood genes,â he said, wiping sweat from his neck with the hem of his shirtâdrawing your unwilling gaze for just a second too long. âAnd years of suffering.â
âYou should put that on a t-shirt.â
Somewhere between brushing down a few of the horses and learning how to check tack for damage, you actually started to find a rhythm. Your hands got dirty. Your hair stuck to your forehead, even when you pulled it back into a ponytail. And your lungs filled with the kind of air you didnât get in the cityâclean, warm, and just a little sweet from the wildflowers blooming near the fence line.
And Gojo?
He didnât let up with the teasing, but there were moments. Quiet ones. Like when he corrected your grip on a halter with an unexpected gentleness. Or when he offered you his water bottle without saying anything, just a flick of his wrist and a nod. Or when he paused to watch you workânot in a judging way, but like he was...actually admiring you.
By the time noon rolled around, you were sweaty, sore, and more exhausted than you cared to admit.
You leaned against the barn wall, wiping your forehead with your sleeve. âSo⊠do I pass the test?â
Gojo looked over at you, lips tugged into something soft. âBarely. But Iâll allow it.â
You scoffed. âGenerous.â
âI try.â He nudged your shoulder with his own. âYou didnât faint. Thatâs somethinâ.â
You bumped him right back. âGive me a week, and Iâll be out-working you.â
He barked a laugh. âPrincess, Iâd love to see you try.â
You accepted the bottle of water he passed over, feeling the hairs on your arms stick up when his calloused hand brushed against your fingers. You chugged until it was completely empty, tossing it down into the dirt. âItâs so fucking hot out. I think Iâll just die of a heat stroke or something.â
Gojo leaned one forearm on the barn wall beside you, all sun-warmed denim and sweat-slicked forearms, smirking like the heat didnât touch him. âThat so? Want me to hose you down?â
You laughed and teased back, âAnd here I thought youâd just dunk my head into the trough.â
âOuch. You think Iâm that cruel? Iâm offended, really.â
You rolled your eyes and shoved off the wall, brushing your damp bangs from your forehead. âSeriously, though. Iâm two minutes away from passing out with the chickens.â
He watched you for a beat, like he was deciding something. Then he pushed off the wall, a lazy grin still in place. âAlright. Time for your reward.â
You squinted at him. âThat sounds suspicious.â
âRelax, you big baby. I was gonna take you out to the pond.â
You blinked, unamused. âA pond? With likeâŠfish and algae and stuff? Pass.â Maybe it was that spoiled, pampered side of you, but you had some standards. You preferred clean pools where you could see the bottom, maybe even a nice hot tub or a hot spring.
âYes, princess, a pond. By all means stay here, unless you donât wanna keep shovelinâ horse shit.â
You didnât hesitate this time. âPond it is.â
Jasper took to you like no time had passed. His ears flicked toward your voice, and he nuzzled your palm when you slipped into the saddle, a little shaky but holding your own. Gojo gave you a once-over from atop his own horse, a cocky gleam in his eye.
âStill remember how to steer?â
âStill remember how to steer?â You childishly mocked his words back, struggling to get a proper footing on the bulky saddle.Â
He let out a bark of laughter and clicked his tongue, kicking off into an easy trot. You followed, heart thuddingânot from the horse or the pace, but the fact that somehow, riding beside Gojo like this feltâŠalmost fun.Â
The path curved past wildflower-covered fields, the scent of honeysuckle hanging thick in the air. Grass brushed your boots. Birds chattered overhead. And every now and then, you caught Gojo glancing your way when he thought you werenât looking, his brilliant blue eyes meeting your own before flicking away towards the path.
You tried not to think about how good he looked on a horse. Or how nice it felt to be back in the saddle. Or how you kinda didnât mind this whole âfarm girlâ thing when the weather was nice and the view looked like that.
The pond came into view, still and glassy under the mid-afternoon sun. It was nestled in a natural bowl of earth, shaded by a ring of old cypress and cottonwood trees that filtered the light into shimmering gold. The breeze was just enough to send little ripples across the surface, like the water was sighing in its sleep.
You slid off Jasper and let your shoes sink into the grass with a soft thud, toeing them off, then peeling your damp socks off with a grimace. Your legs ached, your hands were sore, and your clothes clung in all the wrong placesâbut for the first time all day, it felt kind of worth it.
Gojo stretched, arms lifted high over his head with a groan. His shirt rode up just enough to flash a narrow strip of golden skin above the waistband of his jeansâsun-warmed and sweat-slick, every inch of him infuriatingly effortless.
And then, with absolutely no warning, he peeled the shirt off entirely and tossed it into the grass like he hadnât just caused a minor existential crisis.
You didnât mean to look.
But you did.
And then immediately turned away, eyes on a random patch of wildflowers. âYou are so annoying.â
âWhat?â he asked, already heading for the water. âIâm hot.â
âEmotionally or thermally?â
âBoth,â he said without missing a beat, wading in until the surface licked at his hips.
You followed behind, hesitating at the edge before stepping in. The pond was colder than expected, a welcome shock against your sunburned skin. You kept your tank top and shorts on, letting the water lap at your calves, then your knees, until it hit your thighs and made you suck in a breath. Gojo was already out where it was deepest, pushing wet hair back with both hands, the sunlight catching in his lashes.
âSo,â he called over, âon a scale of one to you crying in the chicken coop, how bad was your first day?â
You shot him a look. âHonestly? It kinda sucked.â
âEven with my charming company?â
âYou were the worst part.â
He grinned. âAnd yet, here you are. Swimminâ with me.â
Instead of answering, you dove forward, arms slicing through the water in one clean stroke. It was colder beneath the surface, silent and blue and still. You resurfaced with a gasp, hair clinging to your cheeks, water dripping from your chin.
Gojo was watching you again.
Not smirking. Not teasing.
Just⊠looking.
You blinked water from your lashes. âWhat?â
He shrugged, voice a little rough. âJust didnât expect you to come back lookinâ like this.â
Your breath caught. â...Like what?â
But he didnât answer. Just swam a little closer, eyes searching. The water moved between you, shifting and cool. A dragonfly skimmed across the surface behind him. His leg brushed yours under the waterâlight, maybe even accidental, but you felt it like a spark.
And then: âBet you still scream when ladybugs land on you.â
The spell snapped in two.
You launched a wave of water right into his face, and he went under with a howl of laughter.
âYou littleââ he came up sputtering, hair plastered to his forehead. âOh, itâs on now.â
You shrieked and kicked backward, but he was on you in seconds, grabbing you around the waist and dunking you under. You surfaced coughing, laughing so hard it hurt.
âAsshole!â you managed, shoving hair out of your face. You splashed him again for good measure, grinning like an idiot.
âYou started it.â He floated back lazily, water beading off his chest and shoulders, hair silver and wild. âCanât dish it out if you canât take it, princess.â
You rolled your eyes and swam for the edge, dragging yourself out and collapsing onto the bank with a groan. The sun wrapped around you like a blanket, drying your skin in slow, lazy waves. Grass tickled your arms. Your lungs felt clearer than they had in weeks.
Gojo flopped beside you with a satisfied grunt. âYou know,â he said, voice low and warm, âyou didnât do half bad today.â
You turned your head toward him, eyes half-lidded. âThatâs the nicest thing youâve said to me since I got back.â
He grinned, one arm folded behind his head. âYeah, well. Donât get used to it.â
You laughed softly and looked up at the sky. It was bluer than you remembered.
Then he asked, almost casually, âWhyâd you come back?â
The question landed in your chest like a stone.
You turned your head, watching his profile. He wasnât looking at youâjust squinting up at the sun like it had answers he didnât want to say out loud.
You exhaled slowly. âYou know why. I didnât really have a choice.â
âCollege thing?â
âYeah.â You picked at the hem of your shirt. âItâs a long story.â
âI got time.â
You paused. âLetâs just sayâŠI screwed some things up. And my mom and David thought itâd be better if I took a little space. Learn some responsibility or whatever.â
There was a pause. ââŠThatâs rough.â
You nodded. âIâll live. Honestly⊠this isnât the worst punishment. Not like I thought itâd be. I mean, I miss the city, sure, but⊠I forgot what itâs like out here. Quiet. Serene. Real.â
You caught him watching you again. That look.
Like he was trying to line you up with a memory that didnât quite fit anymore.
âYou changed,â he murmured.
âSo did you.â
The wind shifted, brushing your arm. A cicada buzzed somewhere nearby.
âYou ever think about back then? About us as kids?â
You smiled faintly. âNot until recently. But⊠yeah. SometimesâŠâ
He nodded, quiet. âMe too.â
Your fingers grazed his as you reached down to brush a blade of grass from your stomach. He didnât move.
Didnât pull away.
Just kept looking at you like maybeâjust maybeâhe was starting to believe you really came back.

SPIDER-MAN DOODLED WITHIN THE CORNER OF THE PAPER IS WHAT DRAWS HER ATTENTION, immediately recognizing what student it belongs to. She canât help the small smile that comes along her face as she brings her eyes up to search for him, seeing as his nose is shoved closer to his journal than the actual coloring pencil.
She adored being a Pre-K teacher. Being able to influence the mind of children growing into their own people made her feel like a superheroâIt was their giggles, their constant questions, their curiosity. A happiness that no one could replace. But her favorite student in particular was Megumi.
His dark hair that sprawled all around his head, doe-like gray eyes that beamed when something took his interest. Heâd always been more quiet, not as interactive with other students, barely joining in during activities or even recess.
He stuck to her like glue, even when he didnât have anything to say. His nose was within his Spider-Man booklet, drawing pictures with his left handâsheâd be lying if she said she didnât enjoy the childâs company.
She stood from her desk, passing by her other students that were in different stations within the classroom, coming to the âart station,â as she kneeled down to the table next to Megumi who continued to draw.
âHey, sweetheart,â she calls softly, âYou okay?â Her eyes drift between him and one of her other students within this station, a little girl with pigtails, toffee skin shining under the classroom lights.
âDid you see what Anabel drew?â She asks.
Megumi looked up at her with a small nod, his dark bangs sticking out a little. He glanced at the girl and gave her a kind smile before looking back down to the table. He looked a little tired, but his large eyes were as observant as ever.
"It is very pretty," he mumbled in his timid voice. His small hands still continued to shade in the page he had started, filling in his favorite heroâs color scheme.
She blows out a breath, wishing he had a little more to say as she prods, âIt is,â she agrees, looking at Anabel who was extremely talkative, âHey, Belâs, did you see Megumiâs picture? Heâs really good at drawing.â
Anabel nodded excitedly, her pigtails bouncing. She was a bundle of energy compared to the quiet Megumi, her bubbly personality on full display.
âMhmm!â she chimed with a giggle, her eyes landing on Megumiâs page as she leaned over, her small hands gripping the side of the table as she gasps, âThatâs a pretty picture! Did you draw it all by yourself?â
Megumiâs gaze slowly turned from his page to the girl. Despite his shy nature, she hadnât seemed pushy like most children often were. He slowly nodded, his eyes meeting hers as she leaned closer to look.
âYes.. I did it all by myselfâŠâ his soft voice mumbled quietly. He was often proud of his drawings, it was his favorite thing to do.
His teacherâs eyes almost brightened. She then tries a different tactic, âHow about you show Anabel the drawing of Spider-girl you made? Or maybe, you can make her one?â
The boyâs attention moved back to his picture with a thoughtful expression. He seemed to ponder over the teacher's words, debating on the idea. After a moment of hesitation, he looked up to Anabel, who seemed excited.
ââŠI can show her my other pictureâŠâ he nods his head, going into his desk as he says, âI can make you another Spider-girl one, okay? This one is for my dad,â he tells Anabel, pressing the paper to his chest with his small fingers.
Speaking of the bastard, this was the one person that she didnât have the opportunity to tell about how amazing Megumi wasâhis father.
She had been trying to contact Megumiâs father since heâd begun school, his nanny being the person that dropped him off on the first day. When she asked the nanny if there was any particular reason why he never showed up, she shrugged, as if she didnât have an answer either.
âHeâs a busy man,â sheâd tell her. She didnât think it was her business to pry, but when she concluded that the reason why Megumi clung to herâeven if she didnât want to admit it to herselfâ that this need for attention was lacking at home. She proclaimed that whenever his father decided to make his grand entrance by meeting the person Megumi was around more than his nanny, sheâd give him a piece of her mind. She just didnât know that day would be today.
âThank you, youâre sweet,â she compliments, ruffling his hair. She sees as that makes his cheeks go russet, sliding his picture over to his classmate. As she stands, she looks up to see her co worker coming in to do her usual act of bothering herâwhich she didnât mind, she was her friendâ a smile upon her face as she sung playfully, âHeyyy Ms. Honey.â
She sighs, giving a soft laugh with a roll to her eyes at the playful call of her last name. She knew there would always be a never-ending joke anytime someone greeted her, always giving a rendition of, âBecause sheâs so sweet,â waving as she replied, âHey, Ms. Em.â
âI love your classroom, your kids are like the ultimate palate cleanser,â Ms. Em sighs, âReady to get out of here?â
âReady as Iâll ever be,â Ms. Honey exhales, âDid you ever find out what time your class was going to that anti-bullying program?â
âOf course I did, who youâ think I am? Someone who doesnât do their job?â She chuckled a little before letting out a slightly exaggerated sigh, âAlthough, I must say, that event is gonna be such a boreâŠâ
âExtremely,â Ms. Honey mutters, looking over her desk for her pen, never noticing as Ms. Em is grinning at the scene behind her.
Ms. Em turns towards her co-worker as she asks, âIs that MegumiâŠmaking friends?â She whispers.
She sighs in return, âTrying to. I asked him to show Anabel his drawing, I thought he was gonna faint.â
Ms. Em chuckled at her words, her hands landing on her hips with a slight laugh, âHeâs so shy, what a cutie.â
âI just wish he wouldnât be so afraid to make friends. Everyone in class always wants to talk to him, heâs sweet irregardless. And his drawings, itâs nothing Iâve seen come from a four year old. Theyâre amazing,â she crosses her arms, âYouâd think heâd want the entertainment, heâs an only child. Iâm sure that becomes lonely.â
âSpeaking of home, any updates on daddy-day -care?â she grins, seeing as Ms. Honey immediately became irritated.
âGirl, donât make me laugh. I have to go through an interview just to have the nanny tell me he canât talk. Iâve never spoken to the man directly. And she acts like sheâs terrified of him, so I donât know what to do.â
âDamn, this guy is so busy that he canât even give you a call or email himself?â
âNot even a letter from a bird,â Ms. Honey retorts, âI asked if he was some CEO with this unattainable free time, the nanny said she only sees him when itâs close to Megumiâs bed time. She doesnât know what he does for work, she just knows itâs somethingâŠillegal,â she whispered the last part.
âMafia-daddy or assassin, hot,â Ms. Em playfully whispers in return.
The more she explained the situation, the more irritated she felt herself becoming as she thought about it. She truly didnât feel like it was her place to have anything to say about his fathers job or even the slight abandonment to his child, but as it affected him on a daily basisâand the bastard seemed like a bastardâ she cared about Megumi more than a way that a teacher cared about her student, it was a motherly nature that she had for him.
âBut seriously, youâre kidding me, right?â Ms. Em raises her eyebrows, âHe has to be a business tycoon or something, thereâs no way that the time he does have for his kid is almost charitable.â
Ms. Honey shrugs, âLetâs hope for my sake Iâll eventually run into him. Or over him, whichever one Iâm successful at first.â
âIâd like to be a fly stuck to the front of that car.â
Ms. Honey laughs, âIâd like to be the one driving the car.â
âThat too.â
She feels her stress lightly release from her shoulders as her co-worker makes her feel better. As they both laugh amongst each other, their attention is suddenly taken away to the front of the class, a masculine cologne hitting their nose before the figure meets their eyes. Ms. Honey couldâve choked on her spit.
The silhouette within the doorframe nearly reaches the ceiling. He was⊠terrifying. It was in all the ways that sent shivers down her spine, also sending throbs in between her thighs. The scar jagged across his lips told her everything she needed to know. Onyx hair, steel gray eyes that had a familiarity she couldnât pinpoint. Olive toned skin and baby pink lips, her eyes falling to a dark inked skull along the side of his neck, making her nearly want to faint at the sight. His broad shoulders were camouflaged by a sable shirt, tight along his hard torso that almost pulled inwardsâthatâs just how sculpted he was. More ink scattered along his large arms, dark jeans and hefty boots along his feet. He dropped the motorbike helmet he had within his veined covered palm along the desk by the door, stoic face searching for something, or someone within the room.
She takes a moment to breathe as she hears Ms. Em whisper, âWho in the hell is that?â
âIâŠdonât know,â Ms. Honey mutters back, still stunned.
He was a sight for sore eyes. As she looked at him, she immediately thought to herself, âgoddamn.â Jawline as sharp as a knife, body nearly straining against his shirtâjust an overall ominous aura, this man was a demon in the flesh. She knew she was staring.
âUhâIâll be right back,â Ms. Honey mutters, beginning to make her way over to him.
She didnât recognize this to be one of her students' parents. As she goes to introduce herself, this time, his eyes are the ones studying her. Her strawberry red hair is pulled into a ponytail that swishes along her mid back, edges perfectly sculpted along her forehead, the rich red contrasting her caramel skin, freckles spruced along her face, nose and lips. Similar to him, she has a large rose blooming within the side of her neck, something he wouldnât expect for a teacher to have. Her double golden nose rings shine within the light, baby pink long sleeve clinging to her body in a way that shouldâve been inappropriate but was only at fault for her geneticsâlarge hips and ass that she could only thank her mother forâ blood red skirt flowing down to the floor with white sandals along her feet, orchids clipped to the top of them.
She comes up to him, nervously pulling at her ponytail as she greets, âGood afternoon,â giving a polite smile, straight teeth shining under her brown-lined lips, âI donât think you have the right classroom, what teacher are you looking for?â
The manâs eyes never wavered from her form as she approached. He was taking in every little detail. How her red hair framed her face, the gold on her nose, how her shirt and skirt clung to her body, her scent, he felt like a dog in heat, wanting to howl as her aroma of cinnamon and vanilla choked up his windpipe. His gaze slowly went down to look at her hips and ass, his expression unreadable, before going back up to her face. He noticed her nervous habit of pulling on her ponytail, as well as the nervous tug on her skirt. She was sexy.
âNah,â his voice had a rasp, deep baritone crawling to her spine as he replied, âIâm in the right place. Youâre Ms. Honey, arenât you?â
Her eyebrows raise up, âMe? I am. I justâ Iâm sorry, I donât recognize you to be one of my students' parents,â she places her hands behind her back, his eyes dropping down to her physique, eyebrow twitching. This definitely wasnât the time to think about how erotically attractive this man was.
âIâm Megumiâs father, Toji Zenin.â
As it hit her, she muttered, âOh shit,â fixing her posture as she turned towards her co-worker, âMs. Em, do you mind getting some of the kids started with dismissal?â
Ms. Em was caught off guard, not expecting to be roped into this situation. She looked between Ms. Honey and the mysterious man with a slightly surprised expression, nodding to her before turning to the children and saying in a convincing tone, âOkay cuties, letâs put away your supplies and go get ready for dismissal, okay?â
She turned back towards the man, âYouâreâŠMegumiâs fatherâŠâ to which he drops his eyes along her face and replies, âThatâs what I just said.â
âUhâitâs nice to finally meet you!â she takes a deep breath as she gives him another kind smile, placing her hand out.
It feels like an eternity as a hand never comes out to shake hers, her eye almost wants to twitch. Toji looked at her outstretched hand, an unamused expression on his face.
âYeah,â he grunted.
He stayed leaning against the wall, broad frame nearly bending the doors hinges, his arms still crossed, looking down at her as he stated, âYouâre the one with the âconcernsâ about how Iâm raising my fuckinâ kid.â
Okay, so he wasnât the type to be passive aggressive. Just aggressive-aggresive. She places her tongue on her cheek, raising an eyebrow as she laughs awkwardly in response, âThat I am. Iâve been wanting to speak to you for a while, youâre very good at ignoring someone. Now that youâre here, Iâd like a sliver of your precious time?â
His jaw clenched as she spoke sarcastically, his eyes narrowing at her tone, âSpeak then.â
She wanted to smack him upside the head right then and there. But she kept her composure, looking back to Megumi who giggled absentmindedly with Anabel, wishing sheâd been anywhere else but this conversation.
She turned back towards him as she spoke, âWell, Megumi is a really good kid. Heâs sweet, polite, and respectfulânot sure who I have to thank for thatââ she throws shade, âBut the only minor problem I do have out of him is his participation and social skills with other students. He has an issue making friends, and the only thing that keeps his interest is his school work and drawing.â
âYouâre upset because the kid isnât some damn social butterfly like the rest of your class?â
Her eyes squint at him as she pensively disagrees, âNo. If youâd let me finish, he draws a lot. Itâs essentially his passion. When I ask him what heâs drawing about, or who heâs drawing for, he says itâs for his father. He seems to be seeking your approval, Mr. Zenin. Not that itâs my place to tell you how to be a better father, but Iâd give notion that if you were more of a participant in your childâs life, his social skills would bloom just like a social butterfly,â she tilts her head, gritting her teeth to keep from cussing him out.
His large arms go over his chest, a humorless laugh coming from his full lips as he asks, âYou gotâ kids?â
âNo sir, I donât,â she replied, a shift in her face at the question, yet she remains stoic.
âThen who in the fuck are you to tell me about how to raise mine?â
As she goes to reply, he cuts her off, â You must be some dumbass, naive idealist who thinks everyone can be a perfect parent with enough love.â
âWhat I am is somebody telling you to watch your mouth around my students. Quickly,â she raises an eyebrow, voice going lower, âBut I absolutely think with enough love and attention to your son, we wouldnât be having this conversation in the first place, Mr. Zenin.â
He grits his teeth for a moment to hold back a nasty reply, âI donât need some gentle parenting bullshit spout about how to raise my own son,â he then remembers her threat, âShut me the fuck up if youâre gonna threaten me. Know Iâm not one of those other parents youâre used toâIâm your worst damn nightmare.â
She pulled her face back, raising an eyebrow. Was this motherfucker trying to scare her? Who in the goddamn hell was he talking to?
All of her professionalism went out the window as she sneered, âCome find me in my sleep, then. Nobodyâs telling you to do anything. But Iâd appreciate the effort of at least faking as if youâre committed to having a goddamn child, rather than clocking out when you donât feel like being a father.â
âMaybe I ainât one of those fathers that bakes sugar cookies with my kid and reads him a bedtime story, Ms. Honey, but Iâm present. I donât need your fuckinâ advice.â
âThen double it and pass it to the next person, Mr. Zenin. I literally donât give a fuckââ
âMs. Honey, can I take this book home with me?â A sweet voice calls from below, her attention being pulled away by one of her other students. It hits reality that sheâs still at work, still standing within her classroom.
She was thankful that her students hadnât heard this back and forth, but she could see Ms. Em felt the fire coming off of both of them.
She pressed her hand along the childâs cheek, âYeah, of course, baby boy,â she replied to her student, Oliver, tan skin and bright green eyes giggling excitedly at her, â Go âhead.â
When she faces the man again, she realizes that sheâd made a damn fool of herself, allowing this man to rile her up in a way that she never was with a student's parent.
She takes a deep breath as she leaves him with, âIâll go get Megumi.â
Tojiâs anger had simmered at the interruption. Even he wasnât heartless enough to continue the argument with a child present. He watched as she went and spoke to her other students in her softest voice, almost admiring the way her face changed as she interacted gently. It nearly made him forget how fucking irritating her adamance was.
As she comes over to Megumi, she squats back down as she sighs, âHey, handsome. Look whoâs here,â she speaks softly to him, running his hair out of his face with a soft smile.
Megumi looked up from his drawing, his face lighting up slightly when he saw his father. He was surprised that he was the one to pick him up, but he felt happy to see him.
He set down his crayon and immediately started to pack up his things, almost saying to hell with his backpack as he ran towards his father, Toji grunting with a soft chuckle as he caught him within his arms. The manâs entire physique softened as Megumi acknowledged him.
âYou wanna leave some of your snacks here for recess tomorrow?â She asks him, happy at how elated he was to see his father. She was glad it wasnât another response, otherwise she wouldâve actually crashed out on this man.
Megumi thought for a moment before smiling and nodded gently in agreement. Her words reminded him that he did forget his snacks at his desk, but if he was to take them home now, he would eat them all before morning came.
He looked up at his father, who was still holding him and he pointed over to the desk. âCan I grab my snacksâŠ?â he asked in a shy voice.
âGo âhead,â he replies even softer than Megumi asked, running his hands over his hair as he pressed a kiss to his childâs forehead, letting him run back over to his chair.
Megumi grabs his snacks from the table as he begins to take them to the classroom fridge, placing them where his name is taped on the shelf. Ms. Honey was now intentionally avoiding her gaze along Toji, taking a breath as she clasps her palms together, âI didnât hear the clean-up song while Ms. Em instructed dismissal time!â causing the entire class to recite the tune theyâd come up with, packing up their last bit of things into their backpacks.
She hadnât noticed as Tojiâs eyes dropped down to her ass, never in doubt of this womanâs attractiveness irregardless of their debacle. Maybe if he fucked that stick out of her ass, she wouldnât have room for another one.
Once she makes sure he has all of his things together, she lets out a breath as she exhales, âOkay, Megumiââ a shriek from her own mouth interrupting her sentence as he swiftly dropped his backpack, tightly wrapping his arms around her lower half.
She canât help her small giggle, hugging him back as she speaks softly, âIâll see you tomorrow, Meg. Promise Iâm not gonna run away.â
Megumi smiled up at her as she hugged him back, enjoying her soft giggles as he clung onto her. He nodded and pulled away, reaching down to grab his backpack as he waved, âBye-bye! See you tomorrow,â gripping his small hand within Tojiâs larger one.
As she watched him grab Toji's hand, their entire argument recited in her head. The guilt immediately hit her chest, wishing it wouldâve been more productive conversation. On the other hand, he was still an ass, and she didnât necessarily feel like she wanted to apologizeâyet.
She gave Toji one more glance before she turned her attention back to the class, leaving the conversation exactly where it was before as he and his son left the classroom. There was nothing to say.
Once the entire class cleared out, she could tell Ms. Em wanted to practically explode, holding her mouth up until the kids were gone.
âAnd uh, what the hell was that?!â she exclaims in a whisper-yell, her tone full of curiosity.
âGirl,â she sits along her desk, crossing her arms, âI almost killed that bastard. Did you hear our conversation?â
âI wouldâve heard him swallow if I was listening any harder. Goddam, the tension in here felt like it was ready to explode. I was afraid a chair was going to catch fire or somethinâ!â
âFunny,â Ms. Honey rolls her eyes, âI canât believe him. Getting mad because you donât spend time with your son?â
âThe audacity to try and argue with you about his terrible parenting. And the damn gall to walk into this classroom and act as if youâre the one in the wrong!â she pauses for a moment, raising an eyebrow, âAlthough, you shouldâve seen his face from my perspective. It was like he was trying not to smile or something, I swear,â she teased in a sly tone.
Ms. Honey twists her face, âI hope youâre not trying to insinuate something in that big ass head of yours. It doesnât matter how hot he was, still doesnât not make him a bastard, Emâ.â
Ms. Em sighs, laying herself on her friends desk as she dreamily sighs, âCome onnnn, you canât argue that the man wasnât attractive as hell. That scar, those muscles, that heightâŠâ she trails off, looking back at Ms. Honey with a smirk, âUgh, I could moan right now. And he rides a damn motorcycle? My cervix hurts. Maybe you should give him a chance. You might be able to get him to change his ways,â she presses her hands to her chest.
âWhat Disney song are you about to start singing?â Ms. Honey raises her eyes, her co-worker raising her middle finger to her as she retorts, âIf you donât want him, Iâll put his ass on a leash, quickly!â
âIâll meet you at Pet-Smart to buy his food then.â
Ms. Em rolls her eyes, âYou're getting bitchy. Thatâs my cue to exit stage left!â She begins walking out, dramatically swaying her hips, âI feen for a good enemy to lovers trope. Call me when you wanna go to Pet-Smart!â
Being left alone with the classroom allows her to let out a big exhale, wishing the conversation hadnât gone so left. She was simmering on this thought as she sat at her desk going through her students homework, a FaceTime call interrupting her work. She sees the familiar picture of her best friend, answering as she continues looking at the papers, âYes, Ezra?â
Ezra groans dramatically as his face appears on her screen, brown skin and emerald green hair appearing as he draws out her first name, âAhâsighâyelll, Iâm boooooreeeed,â pouting like a child.
âBored? Donât you have that car show to go to later?â Asael looks over the camera, âOr have a little sneaky-link toâŠlink with?â
Ezra rolls his eyes, âThat last man was a lilâ hookup. Heâs not really my type. Besides, I have a new toy to play with,â he responds slyly, letting out a sigh, âBut, thatâs actually what I called you for, the car show is tomorrow nightâand youâre coming with me.â
Asael frowns to the camera, âSays who?â
âMe, thatâs who. You havenât been out in a hot minute, you just need to let loose and relax, maybe find a sexy biker to swipe your little abstinence card,â he replies with a small giggle, ignoring the glare she sends through the camera.
âItâs celibacy, smart one. And I just havenâtâŠfound anyone that truly arouses me, Iâd rather be in isolation than have meaningless sex,â she shrugs.
âAlmost a year of no dick is insane. You have a strong sense of mind and body,â Ezra shakes his head.
âMy dick doesnât have a mouth to get on my nerves, and only complains when I need to change its batteries,â she shrugs, âBut as far as your plans, Iâm good on that. Not in the mood to watch a bunch of guys do donuts in a parking lot for hours.â
Ezra rolls his eyes at her words, letting out a scoff, âCome on, itâs not going to be just guys doing donuts. Thereâs going to be live music, food, hot guys, oh, and hot guys again! My manâs gonna be there with his lilâ fire ass retro car.â
She hadnât done anything with her last couple of weekends but cuddled in the bed with her cat, grading papers and overworking herself until all she wanted to do was sleep. She figured that flirting with a couple of guys with nice cars wouldnât be the worst thing in the world, and maybe would be a great start to her weeknd.
She tilts her head, humming as she thinks over the proposal, âMmm, food truck food, hot guys with hot cars. Doesnât sound too bad now that I think about it.â
âSee, I knew youâd agree with me in the end. Ezraâs always right!â
She sighs, âI need an outing after the day I just had,â she admits more to herself.
Ezraâs eyebrows shot up with curiosity, âOh? And why is that? Was someone mean to my bestie? Whose feet do I need to tie bricks to and throw them in the nearest ocean?â
âYes, actually!â She exclaims, âRemember my student Megumi? The one I always send you pictures of? Super cutie with bad social skills?â
âThat sweet lilâ kid who looks like he could kill with a single look?â
âYeah, well I met his father. After playing telephone with the nanny I finally got a hold of Ghostface, and he ripped my ass to shreds. Told me it wasnât my business how he raised his son,â she briefly explains, not wanting to piss herself off all over again.
Ezraâs jaw practically hits the floor as he processes her words, âYouâre lying, who the hell does he think he is? The goddamn pope?â
âDid I mention the bastard is the hottest fucker youâve ever seen?â She adds on, seeing Ezraâs jaw drop down to the core of the earth, Asael nodding as she laughs humorlessly, âYeah. It gets worse. Motherfucker could put a nun out of commission.â
âAnd he ate you up that bad?â
âChewed me up and spit me out. He literally came in on ten! He was not playing with me. Although I snapped his ass right back up, Iâm starting to feel like it wasnât my business,â she sighs, âBut you know how I feel about MegumiâŠIâm just afraid that the lack of attention will cause him to change.â
âDamn. Megumiâs a sweet kid. He doesnât deserve to be neglected by his own father, no matter how hot the man is,â Ezra shakes his head.
âI feel bad. I want to apologizeâbut the bitch doesnât even deserve that,â she leans along her chair, rubbing a hand over her hair as she groans, half covering her mouth as she quietly admits, âHe had a fuckinâ neck tat, Ezra! I wanted to lick him,â She admits, hearing as Ezra laughs at that.
âCanât believe you didnât snap a picture with your eyes and mind transfer it to me. You donât love me forreal,â he smacks his lips, âBut seriously, if he comes back to pick him up tomorrow, just take off your huge ass prideful panties and apologize. If he starts tripping, Iâll pop up and pop his ass.â
âAre you trynaâ get me fired? Or arrested? Donât be funny,â she frowns, âIâll just apologize and hope he isnât on some extra shit. But if I call you, just know you will get the opportunity to slash someoneâs tires.â
âIâve been waiting all my life for this moment,â Ezra fake-cries into the phone, âI can finally shine!â
Asael softly laughs, rolling her eyes as she says, âI gotta finish these papers, just meet me at my place by the time Iâm off work tomorrow.â
âNoted. One more thing?â
âYeah?â
âIf you donât want him, can I have Ghostface? I promise immaâ answer the phone.â
âEzra, get the fuck off my phone.â

WHEN THE NEXT DAY COMES, Asael becomes antsy, glad for it to be Friday, but not glad that she admittedly has some apologizing to do. She knew that an apology was in order for her as well, but she wasnât necessarily holding her breath on that oneâespecially when the person who picked up Megumi was the nanny and not Toji.
She knew it was now the weekend and that meant leaving behind issues at work, but she couldnât help being the emotional person she was, constantly stressing on issues she wished she could immediately smooth over. She now stood within the full body mirror in her bedroom, eyeing herself as she was her own constant critic.
Her strawberry hair flowed around her face in layers, falling to her mid back. She wore a black mini skirt, the bottom of her ass poking out as paired it with thinly strapped matching heels, black baby tee and her red hello kitty purse. She leaned within the mirror as she lined her lips with brown liner, fluffy cat-eye lashes hanging above her previously darkened water line.
Ezra came behind her, playfully whistling, âSo you are trynaâ get that card swiped tonight, huh?â
âCan I just be a girl that wants to be sexy, not because of a man?â
Ezra smirks as he tilts his head, seeing as she then mutters, âIf heâ fine, then maybe.â
âMhm, whatever. Youâ ready to go?â
âNot as ready as you, youâ ready to see your man?â She teases.
Ezra leans within the wall, dreamily sighing, âIâm ready to do bad things to him. Letâs go!â He nearly drags her out of the house, preparing for an eventful night.
As they pull into function, cars line down the lot, motorbikes also grumbling along the ground as they model next to the customized vehicles. The air smells of gas, people taking pictures or showing off their most prized possessions, men and women all talking amongst each other, feeling the thrive of energy.
Asael looks around in excitement as they arrive at the car show, taking in the sight of the various vehicles and the crowd of people buzzing with excitement. From a pink Kuromi styled suped-up motorbike, to a black and white BMW E-30, tires screech under smoke as the vehicle takes off, swiveling around the parking lot almost like a video game.
They step back as cars fly past them, excited yells whooshing into the air. Itâs a chaotic scene in the best way. Asael has a warm smile come to her face, feeling as if it's been a while since sheâs enjoyed herself like this.
âDaddy!â
She turns as Ezra squeals, wrapping his arms around a taller man that chuckles, low waves along his head, brown skin almost matching the sweatshirt he wears. A bright smile comes to his face as he pulls Ezra into a hug, kissing his lips as he mutters within his ear.
âThis is Cam,â Ezra grins against his mouth, Asael giving a soft smile as she greets, âAsael. Nice to meet you.â
âNice to meet you too,â he chuckles, âI donât know too many girls that are into shit like this.â
She shakes her head, âTo tell you the truth, Iâm terrified of motorbikes and extremely loud cars, but theyâre cool to look at, Iâm just here for the ride. No pun intended.â
Cam replies amusingly, âWell by all means, you can always just chill by my car. Itâs the â79 dodge charger.â
She takes a deep breath, nodding her head as she hides the jump her body wants to make every time someone loudly revs their engine. Itâs not that she was afraid, her mind just thought of the worst when seeing these vehicles and bikes mindlessly racing one another, the fear of being hurt more concerning to her than anythingâthat definitely came from being around kids all day.
When she looks to his car again, seeing the multicolored headlights, she then compliments, âItâs fire as fuck, Cam. My chest hurts just thinking about how much you spent on customizing it.â
He sighs, âIt was fashoâ a splurge, but the shit was worth every penny. She purrs like a kitten when she's revved up."
Ezra lets out a scoff as he rolls his eyes, âYeah, yeah. Keep bragging about your car like it's your new boyfriend or something."
âHow do you know I wasnât talking about you?â Cam replies, wrapping his hands around Ezraâs waist, tugging him forward. They both laugh as they pull themselves into a kiss, and for the first time, Asael feels like the third wheel. Times like these made her wish she did have someone to romantically entertain, it made her feel a little lonely.
She clears her throat as she mutters to them, âIâm uh⊠gonna go find something to eat,â giving a weak smile as she waves, giving them no time to reply as sheâs already searching for a food truck.
The music they play along the lot keeps her company as she takes pictures of cars she likes, too anxiety filled to actually talk to any of their owners. Most of the men had women who glared deeply at her, almost hissing as she passed by. She was starting to feel insecure for her outfit choice.
As Asael walks down the line, she makes her way to the small bar they have within the event, ordering a crown vanilla and coke mixture, taking light sips as she continues walking around. Her eyes slowly catch the attention of a handsome, caramel complexioned man who takes pictures of a custom challenger, headlights royal blue with a blower engine plummeting atop of the hood.
Okay, this was it. She lets out a deep breath as she compliments, âNice car.â
The man looks up as he hears her compliment, his eyes roaming over her with appreciation. He smiles, clearly enjoying the attention.
"Thanks,â he leans against the hood of the car, crossing his arms over his chest, âShe's my pride and joy. Been working on her for months. Youâ showing off a ride here?â
âOh, no. Iâm uhâthird wheeling my best friend,â she lightly laughs, âDecided to walk around by myself before they started hooking up in the car.â
The man chuckles at her response, "Ah, so you're in need of some company tonight,â he replies, looking her up and down with a slightly cocky smile.
She shrugs, already feeling slightly buzzed from her drink, âMaybeee,â she hums, âUnless you already have a passenger princess.â
The man smirks at her response, clearly enjoying the banter. He takes a step closer, leaning his hip against the car and looking down at her as he replies, âNah, no passenger princess... yet."
Her tipsy aura has her feeling giddy, nodding her head as she agrees, âYou seem to have good taste in cars and women.â
Just as she thinks thereâs a possible connection between them, she turns her head to find the sound of people yelling, and her entire physique comes to a stop. Itâs as if the hairs on her body stand upâ instantly recognizing that aura from a mile away.
On the other side of the lot, the familiar neck tattoo filled her eyes, watching as he leaned on the seat of a Suzuki GSX-R750 street bike, cigarette within his mouth as his low voice sexily laughed about whatever conversation he was having. Her blood couldâve boiled as she watched him clasp palms with another man, dabbing him up as her eyes noticed something retract from his palm, now successfully within the other guy's hand. This had to be a joke.
âCan you uhâŠgimme a second?â She turns towards the guy she was previously talking to, giving an angelic smile.
She knew that this would be her second time being in this manâs business, but now she actually had a reason to spazz out. She can still feel the effects of her drink, knowing thatâs another reason why sheâs so adamant on going over there to knock his head off of his shoulders. Maybe she shouldâve just headed back over to Ezra.
But as her hips twist with a vengeance and her heels thump along the ground to draw herself closer, maybe not.
A glare burns into the sockets of Toji as she stomped towards him, unable to hold her emotions back as she says, âYouâve got to be fucking kidding me.â
Toji catches the familiarity of her voice as he looks up, his eyes meeting hers. A smug expression immediately appears on his face as he recognizes her, he lets out a lazy chuckle.
âYou look pretty as fuck,â he tells her, his voice deep and gravelly. The statement has her face go blank for a brief second as he takes a drag of his cigarette, âWho are you trynaâ show out for?â exhaling slowly as he looks her up and down.
She realizes once again that sheâs outside of her job atmosphere, pulling at the mini-mini skirt. The last person she expected to see was one of her students' parents, especially the one sheâd just previously had beef with. Now he was looking at her in a way she hadnât seen before. She wanted to punch him. It also made her very, very, horny. What the hell was happening to her?
âAre you serious, Toji?â
âSay my name again.â
âBastard. What the hell are you doing here? What the fuck are you even doing? And donât play dumb, I just saw you slide some shit over to the guy that walked away,â she fires off, his smug look making her want to jump atop of him and elbow him in the face.
âYouâ watching me now?â
âYouâre not very fuckinâ discreet!â
He shrugs, âIâm just showing off my car and bike.â
âDonât play fucking dumb. I could call CPS on your stupid ass right fucking now!â
He pulls the cigarette from his lips, smoke pulling from his nose as he replies, âDonât be a pain in the ass.â
âDonât be a pain in the ass? Niggâooh!â she exclaims, watching as that makes him raise an eyebrow, a smirk coming along his lips as she continues, âYou canât be serious. I have to be immensely drunk if youâre gonna sit here and justify being a goddamn plug while you have a child. Where is your fuckinâ son, Toji?â
âYou think Iâd have him in this type of environment? Donât fuckinâ play with me,â he almost sneers, Asael crossing her arms as he states, âIâm not an idiot. Heâs with the nanny, her son comes over during the weekends to hang with Megumi. Got some other shit you wanna scream at me about?â
âIâll give you five more things I wanna scream about!ââ
âHey, Zenin. I got you a beer like you wanted,â a girl comes beside him, interrupting the conversation as her green eyes stare over Asael, blonde hair and pale skin shining under the light of the lot.
A brief scan over Asael comes from the girl, jealously feigning her body as she narrows her eyes at her, âWhoâs this?â
âThis is my sonâs teacher, Ms. Honey.â
âMs. Honey?â The girl raises an eyebrow.
âThatâs what I said. Her ass is nowhere near sweet,â he replies, Asael grimacing as he opens the bottle with his teeth effortlessly, the cap popping along the ground.
âFunny,â she squints her eyes, âItâs just Asael,â she corrects.
âA teacher,â itâs like this girl's eyes move without her permission, scanning Asael for the second time before she then states, âIâd never be able to tell.â
Itâs shady, yup. Itâs shady. Asael holds her breath as she asks, âAm I supposed to be wearing a cardigan or something?â
âTo cover up that attention seeking piece of fabric you call a skirt? Maybe,â she gives Asael a dismissive once-over, still continuously sizing her up.
Her insults are corny, not enough to actually piss off Asael. The same way she attempted to dismiss her, she turns to Toji as she sighs, âI need to talk to you.â
âNow?â He leans himself forward, pushing off of the bike as he comes closer to her with a frown, âIt canât wait?â
âDo you think I give a fuck about your play-thing? I donât. Yes, now.â
âWho are you calling a play-thing, bitch?â the girl sneers.
Asaelâs eyes couldâve jumped out of her sockets, head swiftly tilting as she narrows her eyes, âWho are you calling a bitch, bitch?â
The thought of two women fighting overâŠessentially him, was an entertaining thought. But seeing Asaelâs anger for himself and knowing he could handle her just fine, he wasnât too sure if a girl heâd only been flirting with for the last hour or so had the same capabilityâ or she was just a little too big for her own bridges. He also didnât want to see his sonâs teacher get into a fight.
âWhatâs your problem?â The girl scoffs, as if she didnât start this conflict herself.
âWhat youâ mean? You were just talking all this hot shit, now Iâm with whatever! Iâm on that type of time!â She looks around Toji whoâs hovered in front of her, hands shoved in his pockets as he mutters, âChill.â
âHow about you stop being so ghetto and act like a professional, Ms. Honey?â
âGhetto?â she blinks, a crowd forming as Asael becomes visibly pissed off, âWho the fuck are you calling ghetto? Iâll show you ghetto, the fuck!â Now feeling racially attacked at the girl's words, Toji now steps forward as he grips for Asaelâs waist, seeing as sheâs inches away from hemming the girl up.
"Knock it the fuck off,â he snaps, his voice firm as he holds her back.
âDonât tell me shit! Tell your hoes to watch theyâ fuckinâ mouth! Talking about âghettoâ, bitch you donât even know me!â She lunges forward again, the girl flinching back a bit, Toji gripping Asael harder, glare along his face as heâs now irritated.
His eyes hardened as he felt in her body that she hadnât relaxed in the slightest. He knew she hadnât been drinking enough to become belligerent, but he could tell her anger was something that wasnât a simple passover.
His voice was now low as he firmly pulled her jaw up to meet his face, snapping at her in a way she hadnât expected him to, "You're not getting into a fight over this. You need to calm down."
Toji then turns towards the girl as he says, âGo.â
âWhat?â She frowns, âGo?â She repeats.
âYou heard me. Fuck off,â he tells her.
The girl rolls her eyes, âWhatever. You two can fucking have each other,â walking off as she throws her beer along the ground.
The moment she leaves, Asael feels herself still shaking, ripping herself away from Toji as she grunts, âI didnât need your goddamn help.â
He instantly tugs her back, large hand having a deadly hold along her wrist, âOh yeah? Then why was your little ass about to start a fight in a damn parking lot?" he snaps, his eyes narrowing as he looks down at her.
âYou think I was gonna let a white girl call me ghetto? Have you lost your damn mind? Like Iâm just acting out for no reason,â she sneers, yanking herself back, a game of tug-o-war at this point.
Toji actually becomes pissed off as he commands, âGet in the car.â
She looks over to the Dodge Durango Hellcat, engine humming, wrapped a shiny black with blood red headlights shining across and below the vehicle.
âWhat? Iâm not getting in your fuckinâ car.â
âWoman. Get in the goddamn car.â
Theyâre now both staring at one another, neither of them making a move. He nods his head, a humorless smirk coming along his mouth, giving her a couple more seconds. Nothing.
He then leans over and opens the passenger door of his car, turning back as he firmly wraps his fingers along Asaelâs throat and yanks her towards him. She yelps as he shoves her down into the seat, removing his hand from her neck as he brings his face close to hers, âPut your legs inside, cause Iâm seconds away from tearing your ass up in this back seat.â
With the mouth she had on her, his was worse. She was learning that. Her parted lips shut tightly, face pulling back from his as she felt her cheeks go hot. She quickly pulled her legs inside, jumping as the door slammed next to her.
Now sitting with her arms crossed, he gets in on the drivers side, the silence between the two now being filled with her heavy breathing. Toji removes the leather jacket he wears, inked up arms flexing as he leans back against the seat, hovering his hand over the lighter within his car as he ignites another cigarette.
He takes a slow drag, the smoke filling the space between them as itâs still silent. He eyes her for a moment.
"Are you good now?â he asks, his voice level but still hinting at irritation.
âIâm calm,â she says flatly.
"Like hell you're calm. You nearly got into a fight over some random ass girl's words,â he mutters, exhaling smoke from his nostrils.
She turns her head, âDo I need to repeat why I was initially upset? It wasnât about her. I donât give a fuck about that hoe. Iâm mad about what she said.â
Toji sighs, taking another drag from his cigarette. He glances over at her, studying her angry expression as he tells her, "You gotta learn to let shit like that roll off your back, baby," he says, his tone slightly softer, âGetting all worked up and trynaâ fight isn't going to prove anything."
âOh? Says the motherfucker with the anger of a hornet? Just like you donât need my advice, I donât need a fuckinâ father.â
âHow are you such a sweet thing to kids, yet act like this right now? Do you always get this pissed off?â
âNo. Probably that damn Crown I drank. I donât know,â she admits, the alcohol within her system feeling like two cups of coffee, her leg immensely shaking as she feels slightly frustrated.
Toji glances at her leg, noticing how much it's shaking. He reaches out, setting a hand on her thigh and giving it a squeeze to stop the movement.
"You're going to shake the whole damn car," he mutters, his hand still resting on her leg.
The touch makes her leg stop shaking, a chill running up her spine at his rough hands. Her arms soften as theyâre still crossed, looking out the window as the event continues to play out, sounds of cheering coming from the other side of the lot as cars do donuts.
She looks back towards him as she mutters, âMy bad.â
He notices the way she tenses up when he touches her, the subtle shiver that runs up her spine. It's a reaction that he finds intriguing.
"Your bad? That's all I get?â he asks, thumb slowly tracing small circles on her leg, almost absentmindedly.
âIâm not apologizing for almost giving that bitch a hands on tonsil removal, but I didnât mean to make a scene,â she says, making that her version of an apology.
Toji lets out a low chuckle, the sound gruff. He continues to trace circles on her leg, his touch light yet firm as he sarcastically replies, âThat's real mature of you.â
âIf some asshole came up to you talking shit, you wouldâve had his heart placed within his prostate. Donât even lie,â she turns her head towards him.
"You're damn right I would," he roughly replies, his hand sliding higher up her thigh, his fingers squeezing the flesh there.
âDonât you think thatâs hypocritical?â She raises an eyebrow.
The moment after she asks the question, she lightly shifts her thigh away from him as the buzz of her drink has her core throbbing, feeling the secretion creating in her between her legs. Her hips nearly shook at his touch. She did her best to hide it.
He lets out a chuckle at her question, noticing the slight movement of her knee. His hand moves again, this time resting on her inner thigh. He can feel the warmth of her skin.
"I never said I wasn't a hypocrite," he replies, his voice dropping to a rough whisper. His thumb continues to slide across her skin, teasingly close to the hem of her skirt.
âThenâŠâ
She didnât mean to do it, she really didnât. But damn, she couldnât help it. The quietest gasp left her lips as his finger shifted right above the now drenched fabric of her panties, her entire body jumping at the simple touch. Her fingers yanked for the car handle, opening it up as she insulted, âYou arenât a hypocrite, youâre a fucking bastard!â Getting out of the car as she slams the door, mind fuzzy, legs shaking and hot as she makes her way back over to Ezra and Cam.
Toji watches in amusement as she jumps out of the car, shaking his head with a cocky smirk on his face. He shrugs to himself, leaning back against the seat and taking another drag from his cigarette.
âHey? What the hell happened?â Ezra asks, seeing the look along his best friend's face, hands coming from around Cam's waist.
âAlmost got into a fight, found Toji here, almost got my coochie touched in the car by Toji, and now Iâm here, telling you!â
Ezraâs head nearly spins, âWha?! Huh?!â
âOkay, quick run down. I was talking to this cutie with a challenger before I saw Toji in my peripheral doingâŠI donât know, illegal shit with this guy. I said oh, so this is what weâre doing? He said itâs not a big deal. I said you have a son?! He brushed me off. Some girl walks up and sizes me up, we get into it and she ended up calling me âghettoâ Toji physically put my ass in the car cause I was about to show her what the fuck ghetto was. He calmed me down and he was rubbing my thigh and I got really horny so I jumped out andânow Iâm here?â She says the last part softer, Cam unable to hold his laugh, causing her to whine, âItâs not funny!â
âFighting at a car lot, friend? Might be ghetto,â Ezra giggles, Asael letting out a sigh as she places her hands along her hips.
âYou can say that, I donât care. She couldnât though. But seriously, you guys suck. I need another drink,â Asael grumbles.
âTo pump you up for your next battle?â
âFuck you. Immaâ smoke instead.â
âBetter go ask your man then.â
âI will hit you!â
As Ezra dramatically pulls her into a hug to comfort her, she canât help the soft laugh that comes from her lips. She just hopes this night becomes better before it ends. Asael was unsuccessful in all of the promises to herself, talking to Toji about Megumi, even getting that hot guy's number. All she wanted to do was ball up in a corner and cry at this point, but instead she sat atop of Camâs car with the both of them, watching as people swerved around the lot with their own vehicles. It was now time for the motorbike show, large custom bikes revving loudly as they began flying past their bodies, Asaelâs hair lightly flies back at the haste of the bikes.
Her eyes catch the scarred lip as he pulls in front of the car she sits upon, saying nothing else as he states, âGet on.â
She raises her eyebrow, looking him up and down as she frowns, âExcuse me? Iâm not getting on that.â
Ezraâs eyes couldâve popped out his head, glancing over at the man as he said, âThis is Toji?â
âEzra, not now,â Asael grits her teeth, knowing he was shocked by the attractiveness of this man.
âCâmon, pretty. I donât do all that stubborn shit,â He revs the engine of his bike, the sound filling the air as he rests his arms on the handlebars.
âAsael is afraid of bikes,â Ezra smirks, Cam wrapping his arms around him, purposely instigating the conversation as Asael glares.
Toji raises an eyebrow at Ezra's comment, turning his head to look at Asael, âCute. Is that true?â
âFuck you,â she says to him, hearing as that makes him darkly chuckle. When he tosses the helmet to her, she reflexively catches it before he states, âYou got a couple more seconds of my patience before I put you on this bike like I put your ass in the car.â
She raises an eyebrow, âIs that a threat?â
âI make promises.â
She narrows her eyes at him, once again calling his bluff as she disagrees, âYouâre not gonna do thatââ she begins, her mouth nearly dropping open as he sucks his teeth, locking the bike onto the ground as he begins removing himself from it.
She shrieks lightly, âOkay! Damn. Shit. Iâm going,â standing from the car, hearing as Ezra and Cam giggle. She goes closer to the bike as she asks, âWhereâs your helmet? Whyâd you only give me one?â
âThat is my helmet, stop stalling and get on.â
âItâs gonna ruin my hair,â she pouts, Toji snatching the helmet out of her hands as he replies, âThen get on a pray we donât crash and your head doesnât explode,â causing her to pull herself back, eyes wide as she shrieks, âWhat?! Toji!â She then whines.
His full on laugh is deep, sexy. He actually found her entirely adorable. He slides his fingers around her hips, lifting her leg onto the opposite side of the large bike as he murmurs, âYour hair is gonna be fine,â reflexively pulling her skirt that rolls up, eyes flickering to the hello kitty panties she wears. Yeah, okay.
Her heart stammers in her chest as she gets on the back, Ezra and Cam whistling out, âNice ass!â as she has to arch herself a bit to comfortably sit behind him. As he now sits in front of her she immediately places her hands along his stomach, feeling the hardness of his abdomen, her fingers shaking as she does so.
She mutters to him, âPlease donât kill me,â a seriousness coming to her voice as sheâs actually terrified.
Toji can feel her fear as she wraps her arms around his stomach. He chuckles softly, a faint smirk on his lips.
"Weâd both die if you wanna be technical,â he chuckles, Asael closing her eyes as she presses her face into his back with a whimper at the thought. When he sees sheâs genuinely terrified, he brings his hand backwards, lightly patting the skin close to her ass as he soothes, âRelax, baby," his voice low and rough, "Youâre good. Just hold on tight,â bringing both his hands to the front, revving the monstrously loud engine of the bike.
âCâmon, Zenin! I didnât put five-bands on this race for you to play around!â A voice calls next to him, another street bike braggingly revving their exhaust.
Her heart nearly dropped to her ass when all the other bikes began revving their engines. Sheâs expecting some type of circus act at this point, spinning around like maniacs and possibly killing her in the process. When she feels the bike begin to move, it takes off before she has time to mentally prepare, squeezing herself tighter around his torso as she clutches her eyes shut, pressing her cheek into the broadness of his back as she faintly shrieks.
Toji chuckles as she clings to him as if her life depends on it as he asks before it gets too loud, "You good back there?"
âMmâmm,â she shakes her head, eyes still tightly closed as she squeals, feeling as the bike increases in speed, swerving through the lot, snapping past other bikes, gas within her nostrils as engines plummet and roar within her ears.
Toji can feel her shaking her head, her fear still evident as she buries her face into his back. He doesn't let up on the bike, pushing it faster than necessary. He can feel her body tremble against him, her cries only making him want to go faster. He swerves, making a sharp turn that causes her to cling to him even tighter, her mind going back to him saying her head might explode. What was she going to tell her students?
âDamn, pretty.â She can hear him chuckle lowly, gripping the material of his shirt as she trembles softly, âDonât be a dick.â
He leans back slightly, shifting his weight and making her have to cling to him harder. He keeps the bike moving fast, zig-zagging through the other bikers.
"I'm not going to let anything happen to you. You're safe."
His voice is gruff yet somehow soothing. It feels like for once heâs not purposely being an ass, or constantly making jokes to rile her up. He feels genuine, knowing how terrified she actually is. As she leans against his shoulder, she peeks an eye open, her hair flurrying through the wind as she sees other bikes trying to keep up with him, going faster than anyone on the street. Her arms slightly relax as they still keep a firm hold on him, clutching as they lean to turn, a tickle coming in her stomach at the movement. A hesitant giggle pulls from her lips.
From all the crying she had been doing before, she could barely hear the music that came from his bike. Her mind focuses on the song, âYamâ by Yeat plays, a curse yelling out from the biker beside them as they flurry past him like lightning.
Toji feels her arms relax slightly, her body responding to the movement of the bike. It was almost as if she was starting to enjoy the ride. A faint smirk tugs at the corner of his lips when he hears her giggle. He continues to weave through the other bikes, pushing the bike to go faster. Expertly maneuvering through the lot, Asael's hair flies wildly behind her, her body finally starting to fully relax.
"Youâ getting used to it?" He calls over the wind.
She nods her head, softly replying within his ear, âIâm okay.â
It was as if the moment she said that, Asael shrieked as he floored it, another biker beside him as she felt her body falling backwards, looking to see as the front of the bike came off of the ground. Although she wanted to shit herself, she could admit that it was a cool sight to see.
As the front of the bike came off the ground, Toji let out a low chuckle at Asael's shriek. He could feel her body tense up behind him, her arms wrapping around him even tighter. He continued to control the bike, keeping it in balance as it rode on just the back wheel.
âStill scared?â He briefly turns his head towards her.
She rolls her eyes, âJust keep doing this cool shit!â
She giggles as he takes off in front of the other biker, engines nearly bursting their eardrums as they race one another. Asael yells out in excitement, Toji howling as the other biker struggles to keep up with them. In this moment her body feels like air, her hands sliding up to Tojiâs chest as she places her face within the back of his neck, eyes closed as she relaxes against his scent.
His heart actually races as he feels her hands slide up his chest, her face burying into the back of his neck. He smirks, enjoying the feeling of her body pressed against him. The roar of the engine and the sound of the other bikes fill the air, but all he can focus on is her. He weaves the bike through the other riders, leaning into each turn with skill and precision. He can feel her breath on his neck, the warmth of her body sending a jump to his dickâhe must've been losing his mind.
The race continues, Toji and the other biker neck to neck, engines screaming as they dart back and forth across the lot. Asael's heart beats louder than it ever has, the adrenaline pumping through her veins. She can feel Toji's heart pounding as well, the vibrations of the bike and his body making her cling to him even tighter.
Eventually, Toji pushes the bike just a bit harder, pulling ahead of the other biker. As they cross the finish line, he grins, feeling the thrill of victory coursing through his veins.
âThatâs five grand on me, bitch!â He howls out, the other biker raising his middle finger to them as they both laugh within the air.
Asael rolls her eyes, giggling nonetheless at the cursing between the two men. They finally slow down, her hands loosening from around him as she immediately checks for her hair, still feeling her makeup intact as she adjusts her skirt, strawberry hair layering around her face loosely.
He smirks as his eyes take the sight of her adjusting her hair and skirt. Her red hair frames her face in an almost angelic manner, even after the wild ride they just had.
"Looks like you and your hair survived," he teases, a hint of amusement in his voice.
She brushes him off, âWhatever. Do I look okay? Do I have wind hair?â She asks, genuine concern in her voice.
He chuckles, watching her as she fusses over her appearance. He turns around slightly, his eyes roaming over her hair and face.
"You look fine. A little messy, yeah, but still pretty as hell," his voice rough yet sincere, coming forward as he pulls her hair out her face that sticks to her lips, the contrast of her caramel skin and colored hair, the lights of the lot making her almost ethereal.
The comment makes her cheeks grow hot, her legs coming off of the bike as she nods, pulling her hair behind her ear nervously. She then hears Ezra squealing, coming as he wraps his arms around her, spinning her around as it causes her to giggle as he asks, âDid you have fun?!â
Asael smiles, âI did. It was cool, I canât lie.â
âGood. Iâm glad you didnât kill my friend, donât know what Iâd do without her,â he sighs, âWell, itâs getting pretty late. You ready to go?â
Asael doesnât even realize itâs almost three in the morning. She looks back to Toji as she realizes she still hadnât had the conversation regarding his relationship with Megumi. She nods her head as she says, âYeah, uh. Actuallyâ you guys go. I need to talk to him.â
Ezra frowns, âAre you sure?â
âYeah, go end your night with your lilâ boyfriend thatâs so madly in love with you. Iâll be fine, promise,â she smiles softly.
Toji watches the exchange between them, his arms still resting on the handlebars of the bike. His expression is neutral, but there's a flicker of curiosity in his eyes as he glances at Asael.
Ezra hesitates, looking between Asael and Toji. Her words reassure him, and he finally nods, âYou know I love you?â wrapping his arms around her as Asael hums, âI know, I love me too,â giggling as she teases, âKidding. Youâre my heart. Iâll call you tomorrow,â she blows kisses, both Ezra and Cam waving as they make their way back to the car.
Asael then turns to Toji as she says, âSo, uh. I actually wanted to talk about Megumi. Is that okay?â
Tojiâs eyes flicker, a stoicism returning back to his face as he says, âYeah. Câmere, I wanna show you something anyways.â
Asael frowns, âIf itâs in your pants, I donât want it,â she crosses her arms, hearing as that makes a huff of a laugh fall from his lips.
Toji smirks at her comment, his eyes flashing with amusement. He shakes his head, his voice low as he replies, "I'm not trying to show you my dick. Come here."
Her eyebrows raise, arms crossing as she comes forward. He nearly rolls his eyes, taking her small palm within his large one as he pulls her towards his car. He throws his bikeâs keys to one of his friends, helping her back into his truck as they take off out of the lot. The city looks pretty underneath the street lights, Asael rubbing the sides of her arms as she lets out a breath, âWhere are we going?â
Toji glances at her as he drives, his eyes flickering over her figure as she rubs the sides of her arms. He notices the city lights reflecting off her skin, the girl more beautiful than he could ever imagine.
"You'll see," he says, his voice cryptic. He keeps his gaze focused on the road, his hands gripping the steering wheel firmly.
âOh god, are they never gonna find my body? Did I make the wrong choice?â She asks, hearing that makes him chuckle, rummaging through his car compartment for his lighter, his attractiveness sticking out like a sore thumb as he drives with one hand.
"Nah," he replies, finding his lighter and igniting a cigarette between his lips, âI said you were safe with me. I meant that.â
They pull in what looks to be a garage, her eyebrows furrowing deeper at the navy blue building. She watches as he steps out, coming around as he opens the door for her, eyes still searching hesitantly around his face.
âI have pepper spray, gorilla,â she tells him, scanning over his large figure. That makes him laugh once again as he chuckles, âYouâve got jokes forreal. Câmon.â
She takes a deep breath, trying to keep up with his long strides as heâs taller than her, Toji opening the door to reveal a completely different idea of what she had in mind. It was similar to an art studio, having a bed and a projector playing music on a loop in one corner of the room, the other side having canvases, paint splashes, rugs along the floor, seeing this is where someone took their time to discover their creativity. The pictures amongst the canvases were womenâs silhouettes, landscape creations, colors and different ideas all amongst her eyes.
Asael walks slowly inside as she looks around, turning to him as she asks, âYou draw?â
Toji's eyes flicker as he watches her take in the studio, the surprise evident on her face. He takes a drag of his cigarette, leaning against the doorframe as she walks around the room, taking in the various artworks on display.
"Yeah," he says simply. He watches her as she stops in front of some of his more recent pieces, his eyes studying her expression carefully.
âSo thatâs where Megumi gets it fromâŠâ she hums.
Her body comes to a halt as she sees another wall. The pictures are familiar to her eyes, every single drawing Megumi made at school was within this wall, including the spider-man one heâd made not too long ago. A guilt almost hits her within the chest, crossing her arms as she mutters, âShit,â to herself.
Toji watches as her eyes settle on a particular wall, filled with drawings that are unmistakably Megumi's. A mixture of pride and sadness flickers across his face, knowing that his son is far from a typical child. He stubs out the cigarette in his hand, his voice low as he speaks, âKidâs obsessed with drawing. Always scribbling something."
It hits her like a ton of bricks. Maybe Toji wasnât the white picket fence father, but she could see just how much he loved his son. She hated to be wrong or even admit to it, but it was time to face the music.
Asael sighs, âIâŠI feel bad about the first conversation we had,â she admits.
Toji raises an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. He leans back against the wall, his arms crossed over his broad chest as he eyes her.
"You mean the one where you called me a bad father?â
Asaelâs arms drop, eyes narrowing as she says, âYou know thatâs not what I said, Toji.â
Toji's expression remains stoic, his eyes fixed on hers. He pushes off the wall, coming closer to her, his steps slow and deliberate.
"Ah, right, I forgot. Potentially bad father," he replies, his voice heavy with derision. He comes right in front of her, towering over her small frame as he looks down at her.
âWhat was I supposed to think? I mean, I never met you. You ignored my emails, my phone calls. I didnât have anything bad to say about Megumi. Heâs a sweetheart, I couldnât ask for a better student. I just wanted to know where he came from. What made him tick. Maybe it was wrong of me to assume you had no type of relationship, but for your nanny to say youâre a âbusy manâ and rarely spend time with Megumi, it made me concerned,â she sighs, admitting this as she sits along the bed, head tilting up as she stares over his towering frame.
Toji listens to her words, his jaw clenching slightly. Her concern for Megumi is evident, but her assumptions about his relationship with his son irritate him. He lets out a scoff, looking down at her seated form on the bed.
"I may not spend as much time with the kid as I should. Life's tough and I do my best to provide for him. But that doesnât mean I'm a goddamn bad father," he mutters, his voice low and rough.
âThatâs not what Iâm saying,â her voice goes soft. âIâŠâ she begins, taking a deep breath as she continues to speak, âI didnât have my father when I was younger. I donât have a good relationship with my mother, and with that, I vowed to give my child the love and attention I never receivedâŠuntil I found out that I was infertile, and that Iâll never be able to conceive my own children. Maybe thatâs why I love my job so much, maybe thatâs why I take these things to heart. But that doesnât make it right,â a weight comes off of her chest, embarrassingly admitting her insecurities.
Toji listens to her, his expression stoic as she admits her past. He can sense the vulnerability in her voice, the weight of her insecurities. His arms unfold from his chest as he apologizes, "Iâm really sorry to hear that, Asael. I appreciate the way you care for Megumi. I can also understand why youâŠcan be the way you are at times, life hasnât been a walk in the park for me either," he admits sharply. He pauses for a moment, his eyes roaming over her face, "But it doesnât give me an excuse to be a dick or use my trauma against others."
âIâm not a dick,â she brings her eyes up to him, âMegumi clings to me like Iâm his damn momma, it makes me almost want to cry at times,â she laughs hoarsely, âI really do care about him, heâs different from my other kids.â
Toji's eyes soften a bit, his expression losing some of its usual stoicism. He can hear the sincerity in her voice, the genuine affection she has for Megumi. He lets out a sigh, running a hand through his dark hair.
"Yeah, the kidâs like a magnet," he admits, "Damned if I know why, though."
âBecause he canât stick to you all the time. Listen, Iâll leave you alone about him. I justâŠplease be sweet to him, you donât seem like the type of father to be all mushy and shit, but it makes him smile. Little things go a long way with children, and at this age they need that affection,â she runs her fingers through her hair, sighing out, âHe loves you, and you love him. I can see that.â
Toji listens to her words, his eyes studying her face. Thereâs a flicker of something in his gaze. He lets out a huff, crossing his arms across his chest again.
"You think I donât think about how I havenât been there for him as much as I should be? But you gotta understand, I do the best I can with the hand Iâve been dealt."
âHave you raised him alone since he was born?â
Tojiâs eyes narrow at her question, her curiosity evident. Thereâs a moment of hesitation before he responds, his voice low again.
"Yeah, pretty much," he admits. He sucks his teeth, his eyes fixed on the floor, âHis motherâŠwell, sheâs not around. And I donât have much of a family to lean on, so itâs just been us most of his life."
It makes more sense to her why he is the way he is, understanding that his constant abandonment could be him wanting better for his child than he had, or his own traumas relaying over.
She sighs, âYouâre doing amazing for what you can. Heâs truly a little ball of sunshine,â she giggles, âJust wish heâd talk more.â
Tojiâs expression softens a little at her words, a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He lets out a huff, shrugging his shoulders, "He's always been a quiet kid. But he's smart, always has been. Got his damn mother's brains.â
As silence falls between them, her eyes come up as she then hears him say, âIâm sorry.â
She tilts her head, âFor?â
Toji sighs, his usually impassive eyes meeting hers. Thereâs a flicker of hesitation in them, a vulnerability that he rarely shows.
"For being a dick to you, I guess," he mutters gruffly, "You were just looking out for Megumi, I canât hold that against you."
âMs. Honey says that adding, âI guessâ to an apology doesnât necessarily make it sincere,â she tells him, not wanting to put her teacher hat on, but unable to help herself as she gives him a soft laugh.
Toji scoffs, a hint of a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. He leans against the wall, his arms still crossed over his chest.
"And you got that from your big ass teaching handbook, huh?" he retorts, his voice holding a hint of mockery.
She shrugs, âIâm more street smart than anything. But seriously, I gave you a real apology, so I expect you to get on your knees and kiss my feet or something.â
Toji laughs at her comment, his expression amused. He pushes off the wall, taking a step towards her, "Kiss your feet, huh?" he repeats, his voice low, "You're not asking for much, are you?"
âMmm, this one of my smaller requests,â she giggles, trying to mask the nervousness she feels around him, crossing her legs as she plays with the end of her skirt.
A shocked laugh comes from her as he pulls for her legs, lifting them to the sides of her as he has a hold of her ankles, lowering his mouth as he kisses the side of her foot. He raises an eyebrow as his gruff voice calls, âYeah?â
The giggling comes from still being slightly tipsy and now face full-on hot, nodding her head as she amusingly replies, âTâthatâs a start.â
âOh, now I got youâ stuttering,â he drawls. He removes her heels off of her feet, beginning to suck the skin of her ankles, dragging his lips down her legs as he goes between the both of them, creating quick pecks as he latches the skin into his mouth with a popping sound. Her giggling subsides as this causes her hips to raise, her fingers digging into the sheets as she presses her mouth into itself, a line of fire being created within her body.
She then clears her throat as she dumbly asks, âUâuh, did that hurt?â She refers to the tattoo along his neck.
Tojiâs eyes flicker as she asks about his tattoo, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips as his vision bores into her own. He keeps his lips along her ankles, "Nah, didn't hurt too bad," his eyes roaming over her form hungrily.
âMine hurt like hell,â she refers to her own, the rose nearly taking over the left side of her neck, trying to keep conversation as she feels herself tremblingâwhy was she trembling? Has it really been this long?
"Yeah? Tell me where else you gotâ ink,â he wants her to keep talking to hear the shake in her voice, now hovering his face above hers, keeping his hand wrapped around one of her ankles, slowly beginning to lift it along his shoulder.
âUâuh, something on my chestâŠsomething on my hipâŠLittle drunk ideas at the time,â her tipsy aura had faded, soberness knocking her in the head as she soaked in the fact that she wasâŠalone with him.
Toji's eyes darken at her admission, his gaze traveling along her curves, imagining the tattoos hiding beneath her clothes. The thought makes something primal stir within him, the desire to know...to see. His other hand slowly traces along her thigh, tips of his fingers gently grazing up her inner thigh as it halts right over her panties, Asaelâs mouth slightly parting as she sucks in a breath. His mouth parts along with hers as a dark chuckle leaves his lips, "Just those two, huh?"
âProbably more,â she says in a softer tone, her own hand raising to his shoulder, gripping lightly along his shirt to stop her hands from shaking. He leans forward more, letting their lips just barely touch each other. His fingers brush over her clit, rubbing against the fabric down to her opening as he hears just how wet she is, dropping his eyes down as he grunts, âOoh, fuck,â Asael gasping along his mouth, her face probably as red as her hair at this point.
She moves her hand up to the back of his hair as her hips tremble, gripping the dark mane as she gasps out, âTojiââ unable to get out her words as he roughly kisses her. Their tongues fall deeper into one another as they filthily make out, Asaelâs open mouth dragging out a moan, eyes rolling to the back of her head as he practically fucks her mouth, head spinning as she desperately kisses him back.
He delves his fingers beneath her panties, Asael gripping for his shoulders, breathless as she whimpers, âFâfuck, justâfuck.â
âWanted your pussy around my fingers the minute I seen you in this fuckinâ skirt,â he grunts within her ear, Asael whimpering deeper at that, feeling as he sinks his middle and ring finger past her opening, shuddering out a whine at his voice. Her skirt shoves up to her hips as she leans into the bed, unable to fight as he groans at her opening squelching from how aroused she is.
His fingers continue to work their way deeper into her, teasing her clit with each stroke of his thumb while keeping her legs pinned open with one hand. Their voices become muffled as they share a mix of moans, grunts, and gasps, lost in the intense pleasure of their mutual pleasurable experience.
Itâs like sheâd gone blind, eyes rolling to the back of her head as she gripped for his hair, his mouth parting open a his fingers fell deeper into her, catching her mouth with his as she groaned, âToji,â she canât stop herself, whining peevishly within his mouth, listening as her opening gushes, legs trembling as she pleads for his mercy, nearly killing her without doing much of anything to her.
As Asael's walls tighten around his fingers, signaling her impending climax, Toji presses his thumb against her clit with increased force, âWhy is this shit so fuckinâ wet,â causing her to let out a series of desperate moans and whines. He watches her face closely, enjoying the sight of her flushed features and glazed eyes as she succumbs to the pleasure storm building within her body.
âIâm gonna cum,â she gasps, pulling one of her hands down to stop his wrist, crying softly as he snatches her hand away as he grunts, âCum all over my fuckinâ fingers.â
He slows down, leaving her aching for more. His free hand wraps around her wrist once again, preventing her from trying to stop him as he begins to thrust his fingers deep inside her core, hitting her g-spot with precision. Asael's body starts to quiver in anticipation of her impending orgasm, her body feels desperate, creating a constant state of heightened arousal that leaves her completely dependent upon him for release.
She trembles out a moan, her other hand hanging onto his shirt as his mouth envelopes over hers, grunting out, âRight there?â She nods her head, whimpering shakily, âRight there,â bringing her hand down as she pulls his wrist towards her, his fingers scathing her gummy walls, a dark chuckle pulling from his lips at that.
Feeling the desperation in her voice and seeing the need in her eyes, he pushes his fingers even deeper into her tight canal, rubbing against her g-spot with just enough pressure to send her over the edge.
Asael lets out a long, drawn-out moan, her body shaking violently as she succumbs to the waves of pleasure crashing over her. Her hand releases his shirt and comes to rest on his shoulder, providing some stability amidst the chaotic sensations coursing through her body.
Her opening spouts out her arousal, Tojiâs lips upon her neck, her hand gripping for his hair as she curses out, whining as she squirts along his fingers, something sheâd never done before. She trembles, âOh shiâshittt,â crying as he spanks her for that, grunting as he pulls his face up to kiss her, Asael whimpering as she attempts to kiss him back. Sheâs already completely spent.
âGonnaâ cum like that on my dick?â
âShut up.â
âTell me.â
âShut up. Please.â
As Asael's body shudders and shakes, releasing her pent-up frustration in hot, messy streams onto his fingers, Toji watches in satisfaction. He savors each moment of her release, feeling the warmth of her juices coating his digits as they slide against her sensitive inner walls.
He brings his mouth up to meet hers once again, capturing her lips in a bruising kiss. Their tongues dance together, exchanging saliva and taste as he pulls away slightly to grunt, "Good fuckinâ girl. Gimmeâ your eyes,â he pulls her face to meet his, âYou got a fuckinâ mouth on you. Gonna make you cum as many times as you pissed me off.â
ââM sorry,â she whimpered. He then snatches her to the end of the bed, spreading her legs as his mouth attaches to her clit, shaking his head from side to side as he spreads her opening with his jaw.
His tongue laps at her wet folds hungrily, teasing her sensitive nub with delicate flicks of his tongue, sending shockwaves of pleasure throughout her entire body.
He holds her legs open with one hand, tracing patterns on her inner thighs and giving her ass a light spank. The combination of sensations sends Asael spiraling further into submission, making her completely reliant upon him for any semblance of relief.
She lies spread-eagled across the bed, her body still quivering from the intense orgasm she just experienced. Toji leans in close to her dripping entrance, his tongue working feverishly against her sensitive flesh, the mixture of wetness and heat from his mouth combined with the occasional smack to her ass sends shivers down her spine, leaving her completely vulnerable and exposed.
His eyes flick upward, gray pouring into her vision as his voice groans, âTell me how you like your pussy ate.â
She leans her head up, breathing harshly as she grips for his hair, her own strawberry curls sticking along her warm face as she whimpers, âPut your tongue in me,â begging essentially.
Tojiâs mouth is quick, sliding his tongue deep inside of her, swirling it around and teasing the sensitive walls with the tip of his tongue. He can feel the anticipation building within her, and he knows that she's on the verge of another climax.
As he continues to lap at her folds, he speaks in a deep, rumbling tone, "Your pussy is so fuckinâ pretty, baby,â he adds an extra emphasis on the word 'pretty,' making sure she knows exactly how much he appreciates her beauty both inside and out.
She nods her head, opening tightening as she listens to his mouth, head falling back onto the bed as she spreads her legs for him, âYâyou look so pretty too,â she softly compliments, hearing him chuckle, a shiver coming across her body from the rumble of his amusement.
Her teeth digs into her lip as he spanks her again, jumping as her entire body ignites at his roughness. His hands move to cup her hips, holding her in place as he continues to eat her out. He loves watching the way she reacts to every touch and command, knowing that he has complete control over her body.
"Wait until Iâm done eating you, immaâ fuck you so good," he growls menacingly, pulling his mouth away from her dripping entrance, leaving a trail of saliva in its wake as he looks up at her with a predatory glint in his eyes.
As he stands up, he grabs hold of her ankles and lifts them up towards his face, positioning her legs straight up in the air, tongue sloshing up and down as he indulges himself within her. With her legs held high in the air, he begins to slowly thrust his tongue deep inside of her slick entrance, pushing it in, eyes rolling to the back of his head as he moans, spanking her again. His hand reaches down to grab hold of her hip bone, using it for leverage as he starts to fuck her with his tongue, driving it in and out with relentless force.
She moans, music to his ears as she spreads more for him, whimpering harshly as a pout comes to her face, âIâm gonna cum all over your fuckinâ face, baby,â gasping as he bruises her skin with his palm for her sultry words. He deeply kisses her opening as he grunts, âNext time you cum itâll be causeâ Iâm fuckinâ you stupid,â he corrects her, âBetter fuckinâ wait for me.â
She nods her head, pulling her thoughts together as she continues to take the pleasure he gives her, thighs shaking as she feels herself coming closer to the edge.
âTell me you want my dick,â he gruffly commands.
âWant your dick so bad, baby, please,â she begs, spreading her legs wider, âPlease,â she repeats.
He slows down the pace of his tongue, teasing her with gentle laps and light sucks before picking up speed once more, flicking his tongue against her clit relentlessly as he drives deeper into her throbbing core with each stroke of his tongue. The combination of sensations leaves Asael nearly breathless, her body trembling in anticipation.
He yanks her to the end of the bed, Asael gasping as he pulls her legs over his shoulders, lifting her up as they now stand inches away from the bed, her body held in the air by his strong arms. His hands hold the skin of her ass within his palms, Toji gently kissing her lips, pulling away to leave her mouth parted. She almost feels lonely. His tip is full and fat, smushing along her opening in a teasing way.
She places her fingers along his back as she whimpers, âStop teasing me.â
Her mouth goes from parting to dropping open, feeling as he slowly sinks her onto the heaviness of his length, a sense of pain rupturing through her spine, overriding by a pleasure that nearly causes her to black out. Toji groans lowly within her mouth, Asaelâs eyes rolling back as silence goes in between them, her legs trembling as she shockingly squirts along his abdomen, body shuddering as she groans from the unexpected orgasm.
Toji smirks arrogantly as he lifts his hand to smack along her cheek, âKeep your eyes open. Look at you, cumming from me putting my shit inside of you. You needed this, didnât you?â
She grips for his hair, gasping against his lips as he lifts her up, dropping her back down, listening to their skin collect arousal together. Tears collect in her vision, whining mercilessly. Her body hasnât subsided from her orgasm as he bounces her down, skin clapping together, Asael sobbing, âOh my god, fuck.â
"Tearing your shit up so good, baby, you feel that?â Heâs evil, continuously bouncing her up and down on his length, gradually increasing the intensity of their movements, battering her walls relentlessly while maintaining eye contact with her tear-streaked face.
She sniffles, nodding her head as she cries out, âI feel it.â
Tojiâs teeth were nipping along her neck, leaving red trails against her skin. His hips snapped into hers with enough force to cause her to whine. Her nails dig against his skin, but it was far from uncomfortable. If anything, he liked it.
âThis is what you wanted, huh?â he murmured, his hot breath against her ear. His tongue trailing against her earlobe, licking the sensitive skin.
âAll youâ been thinking about.â
Asael helplessly nods her head, her eyes falling down to watch as their hips connected harshly. She breathed out, âFuck, Toji.â
Tojiâs breath hitches as he hears his name fall from her lips. It was a sound he could definitely get used to. His name was like a melody. It was a sweet song leaving her lips, hearing her say his name was like music to his ears.
âWatch your fuckinâ mouth.â He warned, sucking softly on her skin, biting down just enough to leave a mark.
âThought you liked a lilâ potty mouth,â she attempted to tease, gasping through her words. Her eyes fluttered shut, inhaling softly as she felt his hand slam along the skin of her ass, his other fingers traveling up as they shoved into her mouth.
âYouâre pushing it,â Toji tells her, squeezing her skin in his hand, biting down on her shoulder as his fingers press against her tongue.
âKeep mouthing off like that. Gonna use your throat for something else.â
âSorry,â she whimpers, wrapping her mouth along his fingers, sucking gently as she moans.
âYeah, youâre definitely not sorry.â
Her mouth wrapped around his fingers felt nice, her tongue pressing against them in a way that would send a shiver down his spine. He could only imagine what else that tongue would do to him.
He leaned down, moving his fingers out of her mouth to bite along her jaw, down to her neck as he grunted, âFuckinâ tease.â
âAnd youâre a bastard,â she gripped the back of his hair, pushing out the words with the last bit of air within her throat.
Toji lets out an amused chuckle, the grip on his hair pulling his head back slightly. All of it drove him crazy.
âYou like that shit,â He murmurs against her ear, his hips still forcing themselves into hers. âAdmit it.â
She shakes her head, eyes rolling to the back of her head as he pulls her head back, looking within her face. She digs her teeth into her lip, refusing to give him a response.
âFuck you,â she grunts out, her stomach dropping as he shoved his hips up, dropping her hips down. She trembled, her mouth flying open as she whines, âFuck, baby. Fuck. Fuck.â
âYeah? Thatâs all you got now?â
She gasped, hips shivering as she used one of her hands to cover her mouth, unable to stop herself from the broken moan she releases, âFuckkk, my god. Stop it.â
He continued moving, forcing his hips against hers. He wanted to hear more of her. No, he needed to hear more of her.
âTâToji,â she holds onto him, âCanât hold on much longer, oh myâŠâ she gasps, âFuckinâ hâhate you.â
âYou donât.â
âI do,â she promises, eyes fluttering shut, âSo much.â
âYouâre giving me all this attitude, but youâre holding on so fuckinâ tightly to me like you donât wanna let go,â he raises her hips, tip halfway out of her, feeling as her legs shake, Asael swivels her lower body as she whimpered.
âCause I donât wanna,â she then admits, her moans dropping from her lips like she couldnât stop them, the sound of their hips connecting alarming around her ears, she trembles out a harsh cry.
âThere we go,â he murmured against her skin, his lips trailing along her shoulder, âThat wasnât so hard.â
Each time he slams her down onto his dick, her pussy gripping tightly around him, releasing small waves of pleasure that seem to radiate throughout both their bodies.
âPussyâs talking to me baby, huh?â
âUgnâmhmmmm.â
She grips the side of his face, nodding her head as she begs, âDonât stop,â trembling as she kisses along his neck.
âDonât stop?â
His fingers dig into the flesh of her ass, grinding her onto his abdomen, arousal dripping down his abdomen each time their bodies connect.
âDonât.â
She feels like heâs punishing her for the mouth she had before they ended up here, her attitude something that needed to be tamed. Now here she wasâbroken and needing him, attitude nowhere in sight.
âReckless ass fuckinâ mouth of yours. Now look at you.â
âFuckk, baby. Please.â
âWhat? Talk to me.â
She gasps, back of her thighs clapping along his hips, coating her arousal along his length as she breathlessly whimpers, âSorry.â
âYou should be.â
A peevish whine leaves her lips, dragging her tongue along his jaw until it reaches his lips, âWant you so bad.â
Toji grins at her whimpers and begs, the sound fueling his desire further. He captures her tongue with his, dominating her mouth as he increases the pace of his thrusts. The room is filled with the sound of their bodies connecting, the lewd noises and gasps they're both making.
"Fuck, never heard pussy talk the way sheâs talking to me,â he groans in her ear, his voice filled with satisfaction, âYou want me this bad?"
She gasps against his lips, holding his hair tightly within her fingers, brokenly moaning as she nods her head, head tilting back as he slams her hips down harder to meet his.
Asael's gasps for air between moans, her body twitching with pleasure and anticipation, only serve to further fuel Toji's hunger. He revels in her cries of pleasure echoing throughout the room as he continues to fuck her senseless.
She nearly whines like a brat when he pulls out of her, carrying her over to the bed as he lays his back against it. Pulling Asael by her blood rich curls, he grips his length within his other hand, slapping it along her tongue before pushing it between the lips of her mouth. Her eyes roll to the back of her head as she moans, immediately bobbing her head up and down as she sucks him within her mouth.
He pulls her hair back roughly, forcing her to look up at him as he holds her head still while he pushes his length into her waiting mouth.
âBegging for my dick, you even want my shit in your throat,â He watches closely as Asael eagerly takes him into her mouth, swallowing his throbbing length wholeheartedly, showing no resistance or hesitation in pleasuring him.
Her warm cheeks grow hotter at his words, keeping her eyes down as she opens her throat, mouth entirely full as she moans, tip slamming into her mouth each time her lips meet with his abdomen.
âAll you needed was something in this pretty ass mouth of yours,â he grunted, using his other hand as he held her hair, positioning her up more as he guides her head down, bobbing her mouth up and down harshly that it causes her eyes to roll back, thighs squeezing together as she feels her clit throb at his tone. Sheâd never expect herself to be this indulged to a man speaking to her like this, embarrassingly enjoying every second of his dirty talk.
âIâm soâŠwetâŠâ she admits between airs of breath, watching as that makes him grunt, head falling back as he grunts, âYeah? You are? Shit, baby,â her lips smacking to his abdomen, taking him all the way down her throat.
He pulls her away from him, holding her up by her hair as his palm smacks along the cheek of her face, seeing the natural beauty of it as her lip liner fades away off her full lips, teary eyed vision lessening of mascara.
Her teeth digs into her lip as she nods, elatedly giggling as he growls at the sight. He grunts, âYeah, okay,â pulling her up by the ponytail he creates as he scoots his body down, her hips now above his as he takes his other hand to spread her ass cheek, core squelching from the air it collects from the movement. The emptiness she feels is now replaced by the full girth of his dick, Toji mercilessly dropping her down onto his abdomen.
The shakey gasp that leaves her lips as Toji groans with her at the same time, âOoh, shit. She missed me,â causing Asael to whimper as he spanks her in repetitions.
Heâs propping her up to where her feet are along the bed, putting her in an almost squatting position as he puts his muscular arms under her legs, holding her by the thick flesh of her ass before heâs pulls her up slowly, slamming her back down, arousal spewing through the separation of their skin, Asael gasping deeply at the sound.
Silence goes between them as they listen, her eyes falling slightly behind herself as she watches her ass drop devilishly against his hips, wrapping her hand around one of his arms that holds her. Tojiâs eyes are locked down, watching as each time he lifts her up, more of her arousal paints against his length.
His eyes flick up to her face, seeing as she can barely keep her eyes open, pouting heavily as sheâs barely in control. He tells her gruffly, âSpread your pussy. Gonna go deeper,â guiding her hands to both of her ass cheeks, pulling them farther away from one another. Asael trembles atop of him, hips stuttering as she nods, desperately trying to keep up with him.
He guides her, roughly slamming her hips down to his, Asael now mewling defeatedly, feeling her eyes brimming with tears again as she runs her fingers over his arms, wanting to hold one of his hands.
âKeep going with all that whining shit you were doing earlier,â he tells her, a shockwave being sent along her body as heâs back to spanking her, Asael spreading herself from behind as she whines softly, âYouâre so fucking deep, baby.â
âIn your stomach?â
She nods her head, no words allowing from her lips as a late gasp shudders from her mouth. Toji tightens his grip on her hips, his fingers digging into her skin even harder as he forces her movements to follow his pace, his eyes never leaving her flushed and pretty face. He can see the way she's struggling to keep herself together, her eyes teary and her body trembling with pleasure.
Her desperation becomes evident in her movements, so he reaches up to intertwine his fingers with hers, gripping her hand tight, grounding her to him.
"Pussy keeps pulling me in,â he groans breathlessly, his eyes locked onto hers as he continues to slam her hips down onto him. He can feel her hand squeezing his, the touch adding to the intimacy of the moment.
"Just like you were made for me," he prods, his voice rough and possessive. âI can tell youâve never been fucked like this. Thatâs why youâre so fuckinâ mad all the time.â
âToji,â her chest shakes as she sobs, taking his hand as she places his fingers within her mouth, needing a way to quiet herself as her eyes roll to the back of her head.
âJust needed a dick to cum on. One to make you cum, yeah?â
âYeah.â
âYeah?â He arrogantly repeats.
âAughhhhâugh, fuck. Yeah.â
She felt as though she didnât have any more energy to give, wanting to tap outâ she knew that wasnât happening. A soft gasp leaves her hips as they swiftly switch positions, Asael now against her stomach as her hips are arched within the air of the bed. Tojiâs abdomen presses along her back as he hovers over her, eyes rolling to the back of her head, shoving her face along the sheets as she jerks out a breathless curse, fists tightening as he pushes back into her. She feels his lips along the back of her neck, his arms trapping hers beneath his.
She hopesâ prays he tires himself out. He takes one hand as he wraps it around her throat from behind, deeply grinding his hips down into her. His lips attach to the side of her neck, fingers clutching her mouth within his hold as she shudders, âOh fuck,â Toji arrogantly chuckling right beside her ear.
âPretty ass tattoo, looks like the shit hurt,â he talks, deep voice wracking within her brain as he grunts, âLet me kiss it better,â dirtily making out with her throat, dragging his tongue along the skin nearly up to her ear. Her eyes canât stay open, feeling as if sheâs about to go blind, the pleasure of him smacking his hips directly along her g-spot has her muffling, âOhhh my god. Fâfuck. Fâuckk.â
His pace gets faster, his grip on her throat and mouth tightening. He can hear the way she gasps and moans against his hand, the sound muffled and desperate. But he doesnât let up, he keeps going, pushing her to the edge and then holding her there, keeping her on the brink of ecstasy and pain.
He leans down, his lips against her ear, his voice a dark, possessive growl, âThink this pussy had been waiting for me,â he pulls out, taking his hand as he bobs his tip along her entrance, watching as Asael trembles out a gasp, legs vibrating as she whines, âGonna cum. Sâso close, put it back in.â
He moves his hips against hers, rocking her body and making her whimper and gasp. Her body trembles and shakes, the pleasure and pain becoming too much for her to handle.
âToji, please. Please.â
âPussy makes me wanna fall in love,â he grunts, spreading her apart with his own hand, seeing her opening throbbing, gummy pink walls pulling themselves inward as they need his connection.
âUngh,â she softly groaned, biting her teeth against the pillow, eyes shut tightly as she moaned along the sheets, eyes rolling to the back of her head as he rolled his hips against hers, still not going back inside of her.
âYou wanna cum?â
âYes.â
âSay that shit, then.â
âWanna fuckinâ cum all over your dick, baby. Câcanât wait,â she nearly feels tears in her eyes.
The evil bastard rumbles a deep chuckle against her body, pulling her hair into his fist as he twists the mane into a ponytail, other hand spreading her opening father as he shoves his dick back inside of her, yanking her hips back with an angle to hit directly to her g-spot. Asael feels elated, a high-pitched giggle leaving her lips as she whines, eyes rolled to the back of her head as her orgasm nearly pushes his length out by the strength of pleasure, her mouth sobbing out half screams, face shoved into the pillow as she releases wildly. He picks her head up as he grunts, still keeping his hips plummeting into her, âNah. Fuck all that. Cum. Shit feels good, doesnât it?â
She nods her head, whining, âYeahhh,â tears dropping from her face, catching his wrist within her palm as he damn near leaves a handprint on her ass, ignoring as his final words to her are, âSo fuckinâ polite now. All you needed was to be fucked.â
The chaos of the moment drives him to a brink of insanity. To hear the suction of air spouting from her opening, Asael defeatedly gasping, head turning as her mascara ridden face tiredly moans, itâs euphoria.
His hips stutter as he pulls out with a moan, an unexpected movement from Asael as she quickly turns herself to let him release along her flushed face, her hands wrapped around the base of his length as she sticks her tongue out.
It makes the man halt, his eyebrows raising as she does so.
Both of their heavy breathing fills the room, her shamelessly beautiful face staring up at him with practical stars in her eyes, Toji for once in complete silence as she giggles from his shocked face.
âShit,â he grunts, âMaybe I was wrong. You are sweet.â
Her eyes scan along his face, a new rise of confidence within her as she shrugs, âCould just be one of my better moods.â
âBetter? Youâre not in the fuckinâ heavens right now after I tore your ass up?â
Asael shrugs, âMaybe. Maybe not.â
As she continues to giggle, Toji raises his eyebrow. She mustâve forgotten who he was just that quickly. But sheâs about to be reminded, a gasp falling from her lips as he twists her hair into his fingers, pulling her eyes up to meet him so she can hear every word.
âNah, fuck that. Turn over.â

Studying with bakugo is almost NEVER studying with bakugo. The mf can yell at you to pay attention all he wants but a few seconds of it and youâre already back to yapping about the latest drama. Drawing little doodles on your paper (and a few on his) while you tell him about how kuroiro finally confessed to Komori from class 1b, and although he doesnât like to admit it heâs paying more attention to your yapping then his studying. (Your the only person who can do that)
i hope i did your ask justiceđ this is the first one iâve done, but thank you sm for requesting. and gosh, i love silly highschool romance sm REQUEST MORE PLS
sorta linked to this but can def be read as a standalone
âdid you hear about kuroiroâs confession today?â you asked. you were laid on bakugouâs room floor, your notebook wide open with a few math equations along with a dozen of doodles.
you just asked him another silly question, one of the countless ones that youâve already made in a hour.
bakugou already knew that you were a sociable person from the way you find a new person to talk to everyday, but he didnât expect you to be this talkative.
truth be told, youâve talked more than you have actually studied. which was the main reason why you had come to his room at nearly eight oâclock at night, close to his bedtime.
he only accepted the late study session was because the other reason for you to come was so he could speak with you privately. this was the best way he could do it secretly without being found out.
bakugou looked up from his textbook, directly at you. âno. not that i even care about that stuff anyway.â
your chin rested in the palm of your hand, silently drumming your fingers against your cheek.
âitâs hilarious though, cmon!â you pleaded with a small smile on your face.
âweâre supposed to be studying, y/n. did you forget that you didnât exactly ace that test?â he rhetorically asked.
you pursed your lips together in a thin line, looking away from bakugou and back onto your textbook. you were dumb enough to even think you could gossip with bakugou.
he offered to help you study, not to bond more as friends clearly.
you picked up your pencil and began to write the equation that was written in the hardbook next to you.
hearing that there was no response from you, bakugou internally began to slightly panic. it was never like you to just shut up so easily. he couldnât help but come to the conclusion that he came off too rude.
itâs not that he didnât want to hear you speak, he just didnât want to make his crush on you so obvious. he was trying so hard to be his normal self which was much harder towards you than he thought.
bakugou placed his textbook down, leaning back into the palm of his hands behind him. âwhat did that extra do?â
almost immediately, you released the pencil that was in your hand and made eye contact with the ruby eyed male in front of you. a smile tugged on your lips, one that bakugou couldnât help but think was so fuckinâ cute.
âhe made her a bouquet of mushrooms, because you know, her whole mushroom quirk thing. he tried to give it to her discreetly but someone walked past and made it a whole big deal.â you described. âhonestly, i feel bad cause i think theyâre both kinda shy. they probably didnât want that attention.â
bakugou unknowingly listened to every word of yours, feeling himself being drawn into you. what was it about your voice that made it so compelling for him?
if it were anyone else like stupid shitty hair or raccoon eyes, heâd shut it down immediately, not caring about a single word they had to say about it.
but, he found it a little more difficult than usual to refuse when it came to you.
he snickered. âpublic confession? what a romcom move of him.â
you looked back down, noticing bakugouâs blank paper. out of boredom, you grasped onto his notebook. you started to doodle on the small square in the upper left corner; a couple of hearts, stars, dots to make it less bland.
âi think it was sweet. itâs hard to confess already, but to do it in front of an audience? takes guts honestly.â
bakugou watched you draw on his paper. he felt a little jump in his heart, some part of him liking the fact that you took initiative to add your own touch to something of his.
something so stupid. so small. but he couldnât help but feel a tad giddy.
bakugou sat upright, gulping nothing but his own saliva. âis that something you would like?â
at first, bakugou curses at himself. why would he ask something like that? something that could definitely give away his small crush on you. but he remained his same stone-cold look.
you looked up at bakugou, noticing his eyes softening slightly before returning to their original position.
you thought about it long before responding. ânah. donât think thatâs something iâd really prefer. iâd like a simple confession with just the two of us.â you described.
it seemed a little weird to you that you were casually speaking of your own relationship preference with bakugou, but you tried your hardest not to think too much about it.
you assumed he was only trying to make small talk.
âgood.â again, with bakugouâs one worded response. even though he didnât add more to his sentence, his eyes lingered with yours. as if he was deciding something or carefully analyzing you. but it was a different look. not a competitive, angry look. but rather a tender look. one you have never seen bakugou wear, ever.
suddenly, he looked away, back onto his textbook. you seemingly didnât mind considering the small tingle you were receiving in your face.
bakugou looked over his shoulder, begging to anyone even the gods above to remove the deep-set blush that was occurring on his face.
the male cleared his throat. âalright, letâs fuckinâ study. gossipinâ and yappinâ wonât help you get a better damn test score.â he chose the defensive route to move on.
you silently agreed with a nod. but, your mind goes back to the thought that you successfully just gossiped with the katsuki bakugou. the one thatâs listed to only care about being the number one hero.
you bit the inside of your cheek to hide a smile as you tapped your pencil against your notebook.
just now, a kaleidoscope of butterflies slipped through the cracks of your stone wall, entering your stomach, and began to harvest a life within that had bakugouâs name branded on it.

PAIRING: president!Sukuna x journalist!Reader
SYNOPSIS: you get in trouble with the law for hate speech (totally bogus; like, hellooo, Freedom of the Press, anyone?), and, in a way to get you out of further repercussions, the president, himselfâwhom you went to college withâproposes a deal: be his fake wife. totally preposterous, but, then again . . . your news column could use a little more publicity, and you were in need of a [pseudo] sugar daddy.
â MDNI; enemies-lovers; smut (every chapter); fake marriage trope; each headline will be additionally tagged on their respective posts.
A/N: the table of contents below is subject to change at any time.
đđđđđđđđ đ : MAN of the HOUR â· preview. you've slandered his name all across your blog's public column since you got your master's degree, but tonight's gala is the first time you're seeing him face-to-face since your college daysâladies and gentlemen: Sukuna Ryomen, or, better yet, Mr. President.
đđđđđđđđ đđ : MIMOSA MONDAYS â· preview. would ignoring your work and avoiding paying taxes still be as bad if it meant joining the Mile High Club . . . ? when Sukuna drags you along on a business trip, there's only one way to find out.
đđđđđđđđ đđđ : RED LIPS & RED BOTTOMS â· preview. to prevent any rumors, you two arrange going on a dateâin public, where anyone could see. but, it's also so you two can finally get to know each other better, if that was even possible . . .
đđđđđđđđ đđ : FIRST LADY â· preview. years have now passed since that fateful encounter at the gala, and Sukuna's first term as president has come to an end; could the same be said about your fake marriage, though?
sukuna is my muse
Hand study with Sukuna
Ok after this Iâm done drawing Deku for the weekâŠI think?
may I request missđđ»ââïž some high nsfw katsuki
warnings for nsfw, p star! katsuki, no quirk college au, consumption of weed n alc, masturbation, fem! reader, itâs a cliffhanger iâm sorry i donât have the brain rn
katsuki bakugo would become a porn star entirely on accident.
the topic would surge from time to time in his friend group, mostly as a joke. because "gosh, bakugo! you have the body of a porn star! you sure you're not on some secret account we don't know about?" and it really got to him. what does a porn star body look like, anyway? it's a mystery to him, as he pulls out his phone on incognito and...
he's in disbelief. he's actually looking up porn. never in his life would katsuki bakugo ever think of doing so. katsuki feels like he'd be less guilty if he's not sober whatsoever, so he's searching multiple accounts on his twitter throwaway with one hand as the other holds a small joint. it's not long before his eyes are completely red, pants and boxers slid down to his ankles, and videos recommended by kaminari going on auto-play.
but he's not satisfied, not one bit. he stopped caring for physique videos ago, he's now entertained by the poor technique. with blurry vision, he reads the replies and quote tweets, expressing their inconformities. comments like "god, her moans sound so fake", or "can't he stroke it slowly? i want it to last" make his mind run. katsuki bakugo was lost in the world of constructive criticism, while his ego began to chew at him.
he can do better than those stupid extras, right?
of fucking course. he's katsuki bakugo. but he's not gonna fucking do it. nope. never.
katsuki bakugo is a lightweight. he feels like he's sitting on the moon instead of his couch as he's gulping down some cheap rum his friends bought the week prior. and soon enough, his camera app is open, cock fully on display, and he's stroking it for a few good minutes. and the camera catches everythingâhow his cock twitches every time his strokes get slower, how the tip was reddish and filled with precum from the very beginning, his heavenly moans, his white-knuckled grip, and how his knees shake as he comes undone and stains his red, velvet couch.
and he has the video on twitter as a draft, half written caption and all. katsuki needs to visualize how it would look like if he posted. until he does. his finger slips, and the video and half caption are posted. at first, katsuki is mortified and doesnât know what to do, until he sees a person liking and commenting. he decides to leave it up until he sobers up.
twelve hours and a huge hangover later, user 00179359027728kb is a twitter porn sensation.
thousands of users express their love for him, asking and demanding for more videos, as well as wishing to be his partner in crime. when katsuki realizes he can monetize this, he suddenly has dollar signs for eyes. a few videos later and katsuki bakugo is famous.
so famous, in fact, that one of your friends is in love with him, despite only seeing the lower half of his face. she raves about him to you on the daily, and as a result you find yourself creating a throwaway to watch his videos, and damnâkatsuki is fucking sensational. heâs an icon, and you wish he were in your bed right then and there.
but heâs quickly discarded by your own brain as you get ready for an outing. itâs a nice, weekend night, and your friends are ready to go clubbing. once you get there itâs⊠okay, you suppose. dim lighting, people stuffed like sardines in a can, and the occasional couple eating their faces in the corner. you know the many cocktails you had are catching up to you once you accidentally bump into a person, and as you turn to apologize, youâre stunned.
âyâshould watch where youâre going.â
âiâm so sorry, i didnât see yâwaitâare you that kb guy from twitter?â
heâs like a deer in headlights. ââŠthat depends. whoâs askinââ
ânameâs y/nâ you giggle, âi know you cause i have a friend whoâs nuts for you.â
you officially pique katsukiâs interest. his eyebrow rises as he smirks, âoh, is she?â he tilts his head to the side, âwhat about you, sweets? you watch me too?â
shyly, you nod. his smirk gets bigger as he steps closer, âshe here? i donât really do pictures, though.â
âdo you do videos?â
liquid courage. it would cost you a lot to even say that sober, and you blame your drunken state for your boldness. katsuki bakugo has that fiery look in his eye as he laughs. âsure i do, sweets. you wanna be the first model for my page or is it just to spite yer friend?â
first?
only model is your goal. youâre determined to make that happen.
âbathroom? in 5?â
âya got it, captain.â

a/n: hope you enjoy! i really had fun writing in a lot of the other characters in this one
|| 9:21AM Gojo Satoru sent you a photo
|| 9:22AM Gojo Satoru: Hereâs our practice schedule for the week. Honestly, itâs better if you come when we do practice games or something, since on other days we just do drills or strength training, but coach doesnât really tell us what weâre doing beforehand so would probs have to play it by ear
|| 9:27AM Gojo Satoru: Oh yeah, weâve got a big game in three weeks on the 28th. Itâll decide if weâre automatically seeded into the top 16 teams bracket, which is really crucial if we want to eventually bring home the championship. Not sure when your assignment is due, but that would be a good official game to come toÂ
|| 9:28AM Gojo Satoru: Let me know as soon as you can if you want to make that game. Iâll have to ask coach to get the referee sign-off for you to be on-field during play at least a week before
You look down at all the messages he was sending you during class on a Monday morning. After he sent you that house party details post from his fraternityâs Instagram page last week, their posts kept popping up in your feed and you saw one this morning with a bunch of the guys in the frat, Gojo included, shotgunning beers until 3AM last night. You marvel at how heâs somehow not hungover beyond repair and is texting you before noon.Â
Pressing and holding on to his messages, you give him little thumbs up reactions and you decide on a heart reaction for the picture he sent you of the practice schedule. Then, you set your phone down and look at the video of the menâs soccer team highlights your professor was playing from the game a week and a half ago.
âHere, here, this right here. Midfielder #24 surveyed the field, spotting #13 making a run for it down the flank. Pinpoint pass to left winger, who starts steering through defenders, but loses the ball. Then, center forward #10 steals the ball back! He steals the ball, he fucking steals the fucking ball back!â Your professor was running back and forth in front of the projector screen, his finger following the movement of the soccer ball in the video. Your heart jumps a beat when Gojo shows up on screen, with his signature #10 jersey, and some people in the lecture hall stand up in excitement with the professor. âBeelines towards the goal, and BAM! Goalie stood no fucking chance, ball sent immaculately into the back of the net. Victory for UTokyo, 2-1, in the last seconds of the game!" Your professor cheers and jumps up and down. Some people cheer with him, others sigh, others are in awe, and some simply clap.Â
Another entire lecture goes by where the professor spends absolutely no time going over film photography theory and instead just talks about how soccer used to be back in his day. You approach him after class, clutching your laptop case to your chest, and itâs only when you clear your throat in front of him that he finally looks up at you from the podium.Â
âOh, y/n, how can I help you?â He asks as he shoves his phone back in his pocket.
âHey, professor. Bit of a request, could I have like two extra days for my assignment? Thereâs this event that I really want to use for the subject matter but itâs the day before the deadline, and I would need some time to develop my photos,â you say in the politest tone you can muster up.
âYeah, sure. Just get it in before the end of the deadline week,â he says nonchalantly. âLooking forward to seeing it. Good work on the last one, by the way.â
You give him a smile and a word of appreciation before turning on your heel and making it up the stairs to exit the lecture hall, pulling your phone out of your tote bag.Â
|| 9:53AM You: i can make it on the 28th. please get that referee permission for me
You press your lips together as you press send, and then type a bit more.
|| 9:54AM You: and thanks a lot
Your stomach is suddenly growling and youâre about to head over to the student hub when your phone starts ringing. You look down at the contact name that says Nobara and pick up.
âHey, Nobie, whatâs up,â you say as you make your way towards the heart of campus, enjoying the light breeze as the sun peeked through the clouds.Â
âWhere are you? Didnât we have a Film Club meeting today?â She asks you, her tone a bit impatient. âWe were supposed to discuss that collaboration with the school newsletter.â
Shoot. You forgot. These days, you were a bit too distracted by recent happenings, like Mina practically falling head-over-heels for a guy that was quite possibly the opposite of her type, the towering amount of class assignments that never seemed to end, and this whole arrangement you were trying to coordinate with Gojo Satoru. The Film Club meeting totally slipped your mind. You were supposed to head out of class a bit early to make it on time. âIâm so sorry, Nobara. I totally forgot about it. Iâm unfortunately all the way on the other end of campus right now. I typed up some notes in the document, can you just run those by them? If we need anything else, Iâll reach out to them by email.âÂ
She sighs on the other end of the line. âYeah. Iâm not good at these conversations, but I guess as President I should be better at them anyways. Iâll let you know how it goes.â And then she hangs up.Â
Mentally happy that you were at least free of one other obligation today, you prepare to make your way to the dining hall when your phone vibrates again.
|| 10:01AM Gojo Satoru: Will do, and sure thing. By the way, you free right now? Coach is having us do a practice game, probably for around 2 hours
You squint your eyes at his message, considering the opportunity. You didnât have any other classes left for the day and were just going to grab something to eat before heading home, but now you wonder if you should make it to this practice session. He did say that you have to be flexible since he doesnât even know exactly what theyâll end up doing before practice, so you figured this might be your only chance this week to practice capturing shots of them as they play, since it seemed like they had Tuesday & Friday off based on Gojoâs schedule picture. Unfortunately, you only brought your digital camera with you today since your film camera was too heavy to carry around unless you knew you needed it, but you can still do a lot with digital that would help for the film camera shoot. You could make it work.
|| 10:05AM You: yeah, iâm free. i was just gonna grab something to eat first, and then iâll head over to the field in maybe 15 min. but iâm not exactly sure how to get onto the field, or where the entrance isâŠ
He adds a heart reaction to your message which startles you a little bit. An accident, maybe?
|| 10:06AM Gojo Satoru: Lol, just meet me at that weird art sculpture they put up last semester. The one that cost like all of our tuition money. Iâll walk you to the field
You let out a sigh, somewhat nervous that you'll be seeing him again soon. The last time you saw Gojo was when you left him standing unceremoniously at the kitchen island with a somewhat offending comment. Nonetheless, he didnât necessarily seem angry at you. Quite the opposite, actually. Heâs been way more helpful than you had ever anticipated. You started to feel like the effort you put into getting Mina to go to that house party was nothing compared to the effort he was putting in for you to ace this assignment.Â
Stopping by your schoolâs mini grocery store, you pick up a sandwich plus some strawberry vanilla soda, and take some bites as well as some sips as you leisurely make your way to the expensive art sculpture near the sports fields. As you get closer to it, you see Gojo from a distance talking to some people. A few of them were guys, a few of them girls, and he was laughing out loud at something one of the girls said. A part of you wonders what itâs like to be adored by so many people.Â
When he spots you at the other side of the cross walk, he doesnât break eye contact with you as heâs hurriedly saying goodbye to the group in front of him. Their heads turn to each other in confusion before turning their attention in your direction as he makes his way over to you.
âHey,â he says as he lightly jogs up to the sidewalk you were standing on. You notice heâs wearing a black long sleeve undershirt with a short-sleeved blue one on top, along with some athletic black shorts and running shoes. When he brushes some of his hair away from where it had fallen near his eyes, your heart skips a beat at his handsome expression. A smile graces his face. âYou ready?â
You nod, swallowing the mouthful of sandwich you didnât realize you had stopped chewing, and follow his lead as the two of you cut across behind the batting cages of the schoolâs softball training area. Your eyes fell to Gojoâs back as he walked on the pavement. His shoulders were broad, shoulder blades pulling the upper half of the fabric of his clothing somewhat taut across as the rest of it freely flowed down to his lean lower back. The long sleeved shirt he wore underneath was pretty loose-fitting, but you could still see the thickness of his muscles. With every step that he took, his calves flexed in a way that made you realize he must really work out.
âWhat are you eating?â He says as he turns around to face you, walking backwards for a few paces as he looks at your hands.
âOh, just a veggie sandwich,â you answer as you hold it up next to your face. âCampus delicacy.â
His smile widens. âAnd what are you drinking?â This time he asks with a bit more curiosity.
âIt's strawberry vanilla soda,â you say as you juggle all of the things you were holding in your arms.Â
âCan I have some?â He asks with a somewhat innocent tone. âThe soda, I mean. Iâve never had that flavor.âÂ
You hesitate, but alas you were a people-pleaser. âSure.âÂ
He halts his movements and so you do too, and he closes the gap between you two in one exaggerated stride. His hand gently pulls the soda bottle out from where it was tucked into your elbow to keep it from falling. You notice the veins on his hand get more defined as he squeezes & twists to release the cap and it sends something akin to a wave of arousal through your body, entirely startling you. But when he brings the bottle up to his lips with his head tipping backwards, drinking directly from it, neck bobbing as he swallows and a single drop trickles down the expanse of his jawline, the arousal directly hits you at your core.Â
âHm,â he licks his lips. âThatâs pretty good.âÂ
Youâre standing there in shock, your grip on your sandwich causing dents in the bread. He dabs the stray droplet of liquid at his chin with the back of his hand and turns around to keep walking ahead, making his way up the stairs onto what looks like a grassy field. It takes you a second to start moving too, and by then you need to do a light jog just to catch up to him.Â
Thereâs a comfortable silence that develops between the two of you and when you glance at Gojo, you notice his eyes are closed and thereâs a serene smile on his face, a gust of wind pushing the hair up out of his forehead and sending the blades of grass dancing across the hilly field. You smile too at the sensation of cool wind on your skin. It was a beautiful day outside with sparkling sunshine and quiet whistling wind.
âCan I ask you something?â You say after contemplating if you should interrupt his somewhat meditative state.Â
âYou can ask me anything,â he easily replies.Â
âWhy are you so willing to help me out with my assignment?âÂ
He turns his head to look at you with a neutral expression. âBecause you did me a favor.âÂ
You sigh. âI knowâŠbut it really wasnât that hard to convince Mina to go to that party. I feel like youâre helping me out way more than I helped you out.â A small ladybug lands on the fabric of your jeans and you marvel at it before it flutters its wings and flies away.
Heâs silent for a second. âHonestly, when you agreed to help me out with Todoâs little crush, which by the way I had to do because I lost a bet, and you mentioned something about terms and conditions in your message,â he starts to say, a brief pause making its way between the sentence as if he was actively trying to relive that first night he was texting you, âI thought you were going to ask for something sexual in return.âÂ
Your mouth drops at his line of thinking, suddenly mortified. Thatâs how your message came across to him? Oh my God, you had to rethink how you texted everyone in your life from now on.
âI mean, werenât you being a little flirty? âMy terms and conditions will come laterâ. Or do I just have some weird sexual brain rot?â His eyes are still on you, his tone way too casual in your opinion for this sudden topic of conversation. You also realize that he thinks having sex with him would be returning you the favor. And then you try not to think about how good he probably is in bed.Â
When you canât think of what to say and just stare at him with wide eyes, he smiles and stretches his arms out in front of him as another gust of wind passes by. âWell, anyways, when you shared what you actually wanted from me and it ended up being a pretty earnest requestâŠletâs just say I was emotionally moved by your dreams and aspirations.â He says that last part somewhat dramatically and you roll your eyes, sending him an annoyed look. âA little disappointed, but nonetheless moved.âÂ
âWow, youâre the type of person that would trade favors for sex?â You ask him with a sneer to your tone.Â
He sends a lazy smirk to you over his shoulder to where youâre trailing behind him now. âNot really, no, canât say Iâve ever done it before,â he says slyly, âprobably wouldâve made an exception for you, though.â And then heâs giving you a wink.
You canât help but blush a little. He was definitely just teasing you, some hobby of his that he does just to constantly get a kick out of the people around him since he knows he just has that much of an effect on them, so you try not to let his words get past your skin to the more vulnerable parts of you. Heâs reading your expression before he speaks up again.
âWeâve already started this little return favor of yours, so no take-backs. Itâs an eye for an eye. Not an eye for an eye and throw some casual sex in there, too.â He makes his way up what seems to be the largest hill across the field and he stops at the top, peering out at whatever was across from it. When you made your way to the top too, your eyes widened as you saw an expanse of flat grassiness covered in orange cones, green land markers, white chalk outlines, and netted goals. Oh, and a lot of men. âAlrighty, you freaky little photographer. Here are your muses.âÂ
You let out the breath you were holding in and smiled, hands immediately reaching for your digital camera case within your tote bag. A wave of creativity and inspiration hit you as you were finally able to lay your eyes on your subject matter and setting, and you couldnât wait to get started.Â
Gojo makes his way down the hill and you stumble after him. He high-fives a couple of his teammates that were leaving the first wave of practice and makes his way over where the second-wave practice players were stretching on the field and running laps.
âCâmon, Itadori, Iâve seen snails with a more urgent sense of direction than you! Pick up those goddamn knees!â You hear a loud voice from a few feet away from you and flinch, eyeing the scary looking man that had aâŠPomeranian dog in his arms? He was wearing a black athletic jumpsuit and had extremely tinted, thick sunglasses on. His facial hair was a bit jarring and you immediately decided you were scared of him, despite how gently he was petting the little dog cradled in his arms.Â
âThatâs coach Yaga,â Gojo says beside you with a smile on his face and his hands on his hips. âReal nice guy.â
You turn to give him a suspicious look and he just returns it with a wider smile.Â
âHey! Itâs y/n,â you hear a somewhat familiar voice call out and you glance at the direction it came from. You see Geto standing next to Nanami and he whacks his hand against the blonde's chest to get his attention when he makes eye contact with you before jogging over. You see Gojo put his hands in his shorts pockets in your periphery. âWhat are you doing here?âÂ
You give him a somewhat shy smile, suddenly embarrassed by the attention. âHere to take some photos.â
âAre you with the school newsletter?â Nanamiâs smooth voice says as he approaches Geto, standing next to him. They both were wearing matching blue tracksuits.Â
âNo, Iâm not. Just here toâŠtake some photos for one of my classes. Itâs for a film photography assignment.â You suddenly wished you were part of the school newsletter committee, so that you could at least provide them with some positive publicity with your photos. You wondered if they would think youâre just using them. As if Gojo could read your mind, he patted Geto harshly on the back and let out a loud, obnoxious laugh.
âHear that, punks? She wants to try and take some nice photos of you lot. Be grateful! Of course, your grotesque appearances cannot simply be fixed by any technology yet known to man,â Gojo says rather loudly, continuing to smack Geto on the back. Geto has a small pitiful smile on his face and Nanami just looks annoyed. You feel lighter somehow, less tense.Â
âOkay, cool, let us know if we can help in any way,â Geto says kindly as he sits down on the grass to continue stretching out his legs. âOh by the way, Satoru, Chosouâs out sick today so you might need to cover for goalie.âÂ
âWhat? Whyâs that fucker always getting sick?â Gojo says as he walks towards one of the duffle bags on the bench, and you assume itâs his. He pulls out a water bottle. âHe needs to stop eating that goddamn grocery store sushi.âÂ
âOh! Oh! Itâs you,â another somewhat familiar voice calls out from ahead. You see a guy wearing a dark blue jacket that had a red hood approaching you from the inner field. Then you recognize he was that guy at the entrance of the house party that called you a- âItâs casual tomboy!âÂ
Your eye twitches slightly as you take in your appearance. Sure, you were wearing jeans again, but your top was somewhat stylish and feminine. He arrives in front of you and notices the digital camera hung at your neck. âHey, whatâs that?â He points directly at your midriff where the camera sat. He almost pokes his finger right through the delicate attachable lens that cost you nearly two months of rent.
âA little rude, Yuuji,â Geto says, grunting as he switches from one stretch to the other.Â
Yuuji gets closer to you to study the camera and you instinctively lean away from him before Gojo is grabbing him by the hood of his jacket and yanking him away from you, Yuujiâs arms flailing out in front of himself in a struggle. âHey, get back to practice. Youâre not allowed to talk to pretty seniors.âÂ
Coach Yaga grunts and crosses his arms from where he stood a few feet away, the tiny pomeranian now barking at his feet. âI never said you could stop running laps, Itadori! Get your ass back out there! Iâll be sending you to recreational soccer for the rest of your freshman year if you donât get your damn head straight!â Gojo lets go of Itadoriâs hood and the poor boy is scrambling across the field to join what seems like the other first-years for their warm-up laps. Coach Yaga turns to you and gives a hmph before vaguely gesturing to you. âMay I know what youâre doing out on my field?â
âCoach!â Gojo says, making his way over to the scary man. He slings his arm around his neck and the man just continues to glare at him through his sunglasses. âSheâs with me today. Photographer y/n will be taking some handsome photographs of you that you can send to your wife, and then maybe your wife will actually want to-â
Coach Yaga puts Gojo in a headlock and Gojoâs instantly tapping on his back to get him to ease up. âI dare you to finish that sentence, boy.â
You let out a small laugh. This was certainly a lively bunch. Nanami approaches you and expresses interest in your camera. You lift it up for him to take a closer look. He pinches his chin between his bent index finger and thumb, as if he was a detective analyzing a crime scene. âI seeâŠso this is a film camera.âÂ
âAhâŠâ you laugh awkwardly. âNo, this is just a digital camera.âÂ
âI seeâŠso this is a digital camera,â he repeats, equally as intrigued.Â
The time eventually comes along where all the players start the practice match. Thereâs obviously not enough players out on the field for full teams on each side, but theyâre split into 1st & 4th years vs. 2nd & 3rd years. You learn that the second wave practice group has the talented players at the top of each of their year groups. Gojo doesnât seem to participate in the practice match despite one team having to omit having a goalie since the coach requested he sit out to watch the plays and make suggestions. Youâre a bit sad you donât get to see him play, but figured youâll have a chance in the future. You take a few snapshots as one of the other first-years, a quiet boy named Megumi, kicks the ball towards the goal that ends up bouncing off the goal frame. You spend some time tweaking the exposure, zoom, and focus until you feel like you have a pretty good idea of the settings youâll need to get some fluid shots.Â
When you look up over the field again, raising your digital camera to your face, you notice Gojo looking at you from across the field where he stood at the sidelines. You both keep your gaze on one another for a couple of seconds, and you boldly lift the camera up to your eye, taking a few snapshots of him. When you pull it away, look down at the results on the small screen, and then glance back up at him, his eyes are slightly wide. Something stirs within you when you remember his words from earlier: I thought you were going to ask for something sexual.
Your mind wanders back to the party from last weekend, and the feeling of him leaning down next to your ear in the kitchen as he said âThanks, I owe you one. Find me later, âkay?â The memory itself made your cheeks feel warm. Did heâŠthink that something was going to happen that night at the party? Probably wouldâve made an exception for youâŠDisappointed, but nonetheless moved. Somewhere in the haziness of your thoughts, you realize that meant that Gojo wouldâve wanted to sleep with you if that was indeed your condition.
When you look to the other side of the field again, Gojoâs eyes are still on you but his handsome face looks a bit troubled, eyebrows furrowed and lips slightly pursed. You couldnât really tell what he was thinking, but for some reason you felt like he could tell what you were. When you raised an eyebrow at him, his face relaxed and he slowly shook his head as if to say it's nothing.Â
Coach Yagaâs sharp whistle cuts through the silent conversation you two were having as he yells, âalright, boys. Practice over! Go hit the showers.âÂ
You quickly stuff your digital camera back into its case and collect your things into your tote bag. In your peripheral vision, Gojoâs making his way over to you and when heâs right next to you, you canât bring yourself to look at him.
âHowâd it go? Get some good shots?â He asks, sounding genuinely interested.
âUm, yeah, I think so.â Youâre still not looking at him, pretending to fiddle with something in your tote bag. He leans down a bit to look at your face more clearly when he notices youâre not meeting his gaze, but you still struggle to make eye contact with him. âIâve gotta go, can you tell the guys I said bye?â And then youâre making your way up the hill.
Thereâs a beat of silence as confusion washes over him from your behavior. âHey, wait, y/n, do you know how to get back to campus?â
You spin to face him when you're at the top of the hill, finally looking him in the eye. Thereâs a concerned expression on his face. âYes, Iâll be fine. Thanks a lot for today. Let me buy you a strawberry vanilla soda sometime, okay?â Flashing him a small smile, you turn around and run down the hill, ignoring the fast beating of your heart.
